  • Aram Karapetyan Wants Airtime

    ARAM KARAPETYAN WANTS AIRTIME

    28 April 06

    On April 28 the rally and march organized by the leader of the Nor
    Zhamanakner Party (New Times) Aram Karapetyan went on in the rain. The
    rain, however, did not appear to have a big role. `The rain is not an
    obstacle. We stood pressure, we can stand the rain too,' said Aram
    Karapetyan. To prevent rumors about the number of ralliers, Aram
    Karapetyan announced in the end that as many people were present as
    required for a march.

    And before that the leader of Nor Zhamanakner said he would bring the
    struggle over to its logical end. Aram Karapetyan informed that by
    marching past the Police and the National Security Service they wanted
    to say, `do not enter political processes. You cannot become Robert
    Kocharyan's and Serge Sargsyan's aides. You cannot obey the caprices
    of one or two people.' Aram Karapetyan again demands airtime, he says
    he is ready to pay for airtime, and asks the leadership to give him
    airtime if the leadership think he will lose votes in case he appears
    on air. Whereas, `they know well that if I appear on air for half an
    hour every week, several weeks later a surge of revolution would rise
    in Armenia.'


    The participants of the rally adopted a message and extended it to the
    Police of Armenia (namely, Colonel Minasyan, Assistant Chief of the
    Headquarters of the Police) and the National Security Service
    (Lieutenant-Colonel Vahagn Harutiunyan, Department of Defense). The
    protesters chanted `get out of politics' and `shame on you' until
    extending the message.


    The rally and march were approved. Probably, it was the reason why the
    policemen were not rude, moreover, they were attentive and careful,
    and even very nice. Aram Karapetyan has announced for several times
    that he has agents in various government agencies. Perhaps one of
    these agents informed him that during the march eight cars with
    special operational forces `arrived' at the residence of the president
    of Armenia. Baghramyan Avenue was not included in the itinerary of
    Aram Karapetyan. The next rally will probably take place in the
    community of Nork, and will demand airtime.
