YEREVAN, JUNE 5, NOYAN TAPAN. The leaders of Democratic Homeland
and Conservative parties making part of Impeachment preelection
bloc consider that the main achievement of the bloc is considerable
reduction of atmosphere of fear among the people. As Petros Makeyan,
Chairman of the Democratic Homeland Party, mentioned at the June 5
press conference, passing by various yards of Yerevan by car columns,
they feel a change in people's consciousness: in his words, before the
elections inhabitants of these yards listened to slogans and mottos
of Impeachment bloc with indifference, while now, at the postelection
stage, many people respond to these slogans and express readiness to
join the struggle.
Mikayel Hayrapetian, leader of the Conservative Party of Armenia,
taking part in the press conference said that they do not consider
the process of parliamentary elections as closed. In his words, "the
elections will be finished only when RA President Robert Kocharian
and Prime Minister Serge Sargsian are removed." Currently, as the
speaker qualified, it is inappropriate, irrelevant and immoral to
speak about the 2008 presidential elections.
The formed political situation, as M. Hayrapetian stressed, has
two solutions. The first is invalidating the election results
by challenging them at the Constitutional Court. But as CC,
in the speaker's words, "has disgraced itself since the day of
its foundation," it would be naivety to expect justice from that
instance. The second solution is renouncing their mandates by parties,
which have announced themselves opposition and have appeared in the
National Assembly, which will enable to cause vacuum in the process
of forming power. The statement spread by the two parties read that
"mincing manners and inclusion into the game drawn by the illegal
authorities means rendering secret services to usurpers."
