Today journalists asked People's Party press secretary Ruzan
Khachatryan the reason Stepan Demirjyan stands with Levon Ter
Petrosyan, when Ter Petrosyan's party is responsible for removing
Demirjyan's father from the government. To this question, Khachatryan
said, "Each and every person with a memory knows that Demirjyan left
the government in May of 1988 due to the fact he didn't approve of
Gorbachev's politics.
For years there were bad relations between Gorbachev and Demirjyan,
since the latter didn't approve of the steps Gorbachev was taking. This
is the entire issue."
Concerning the time of major movements in Armenia, the secretary said
that talk at the time had it that it would be better if Demirjyan
led this movement, but that Demirjyan thought it would be better
if those who had started the movement led it. "Karen Demirjyan did
nothing to get in the way of change, and, basically, left with honor,"
she stressed.
Returning to the subject of Ter Petrosyan's ten years of silence, and
then using the happening of October 27, Khachatryan said, "Government
figures don't hold to any moral norm in their speeches. If they say
that Stepan Demirjyan and Aram Sargsyan are using the October 27
events, and are using them time and again, what are we talking about
here? It is clear to everyone that these events brought certain people
to power. With this, everything is said."
