situation formed in the country after the 2005 November 27 referendum,
the current problems, as well as the party's future tasks will be
discussed. "Our party should get rid of the Armenian complex of being
a party of one person in order to become a party," the party leader
disclosed the task of their party mentioning that he will demand that
numerous candidatures be nominated for the party chairman and board
upcoming elections. In connection with the attempts of slandering
him and his family, depriving the party of the office it had rented
for a term that expired on June 1, making him "a social outcast
in his own country" he assured that he will protect their rights
together with his friends "with strict observance of laws". No one,
neither the former, nor the current, future responsible persons can
banish me and my family from the country and intimidate us with this
or that cheap, small blow. For us the homeland is not a place for
gaining profit, for us it is a subject of pride and devotion", Raffi
Hovhannisian declared. He also mentioned that his family together with
thousands of compatriots is ready to continue their modest activity
in the direction of solving social, educational, scientific, cultural
problems. As for the political field, R.Hovhannisian together with his
colleagues will continue to take steps aimed at qualitative change of
the home political life and is sure that "a formula and key to the
consolidation" of the political field around the national problems
will be found. In his opinion, cooperation in this issue will
proceed without any preconditions and first of all on the part of
the opposition. "They can close our offices, take away our property,
after all, my house, my property belongs to the country and will
remain here," the speaker mentioned. "Personally I need only a small
tent in our country and the experience of the recent period showed
us that there is some fear even of tents".
