`OYP TENDS TO FUTURE, NOT PAST'
[07:16 pm] 31 January, 2007
According to the Orinats Yerkir party, today it has about 100 thousand
members. 20 thousand of them are young people involved in the OYP
Youth Union. Since the OYP left the coalition last year 4 000 young
people have joined it, President of the Youth Union of the party
Samvel Farmanyan reported today during the 4th conference of the
Union.
The young members of the party were elated: during the recurrent
conference Arthur Baghdasaryan had not sent a greeting message but had
arrived himself, accompanied by the deputies of the party. Moreover,
he opened the conference himself, calling on the members of the party
to be more active in the pre-election period. In order to provoke,
them, the leader of the party promised to allot places to them in the
election rolls.
During the fourth conference the young members of the party made a
plan to process a strategy and policy, and approaches towards the
pre-election program, and to represent them to the political leaders
of the party.
Leaving the coalition chair and joining the people, the OYP has noted
many things it used to fail to notice.
According to Arthur Baghdasaryan, `In Armenia, especially in the
regions, poverty is attacking people', and `illegalities breed like
rabbits'. `According to the national youth report which was made
public two months ago, there are about 840 thousand 16-30-year-old
young people in Armenia 77% of which sees his future abroad',
mentioned Arthur Baghdasaryan calling on the young people to build
their future in their own country.
By the way, Arthur Baghdasaryan avoided to answer the questions of the
journalists asking them to ask those questions to Mher Shahgeldyan. He
said, `We never yield. That thought is unacceptable for us. Future and
progress are more important than the sad memories of past. We must
fight for the future. Orinats Yerkir tends to the future, not to the
past'.
