HAIRIKYAN'S EFFORTS WERE IN VAIN AND HE BLAMES EVERYONE
Lragir, Armenia
Nov 27 2007
The leader of the National Self-Determination Union Paruir Hairikyan
stated November 27 at the Hayeli club his effort to bring together the
political leaders for the sake of democracy failed, only five parties
stayed faithful to this effort - the National Self-Determination Union,
the Democratic Way Party, the National Democratic Party, the Marxist
Party and the National Solidarity - which is not enough to expect
victory in the presidential election.
These parties are not divided, some of them, for instance, the
Democratic Way or the Marxist Party, support Ter-Petrosyan, the
Solidarity nominated a candidate, however, Paruir Hairikyan says they
tried their hardest to support Hairikyan's effort.
"It was not of practical use. But the second part of our intention,
which interested me personally, I got the answer for it. We spoke
about democracy during the parliamentary election as well but as you
remember it did not become clear why the effort to create a united
front failed. Now I can state clearly what role each political
activist had, and whose aspirations resembled a mental disease,
who was a provocateur, who was sold and who was bought," Paruir
Hairikyan says. He says he knows the answer to these questions and
if it interests the society, he can evaluate each. The reporters
wanted to know the names, and Paruir Hairikyan said his statements
are very clear. "It is highly responsible to enumerate the KGB
agents the society is swarming with. We judge by their indifference
toward selling the national property of Armenia to others. All those
who expect reforms in Armenia from the presidential election are
ignorant. It means they are unaware of the Constitution. Those who
imagine themselves as triumphant candidates are mental patients,"
Paruir Hairikyan says. According to him, if someone does not run in the
parliamentary election saying that they will run in the presidential
election, they have no idea of politics.
"Because in Armenia the parliamentary election determined it. The
All-Armenian Movement and the National Democratic Union did not run in
the presidential election, the All-Armenian Movement stopped halfway,
the NDU from the very beginning. Now their running in the presidential
election seems funny to me. How ignorant a person should be to run
in the presidential election individually hoping to change something
which can be changed only in the parliamentary election?"
Paruir Hairikyan says. He asks what prevented Levon Ter-Petrosyan,
Arthur Baghdasaryan or Raffi Hovannisian if they were interested in
their program not in their personality from fostering the consolidation
of democratic forces? Hairikyan thinks the people for whom their self
is more important are bastards.
As to the thesis that although the Constitution vests greater power in
the legislative, the Constitution has always been a formal document in
this sense, and in reality the Republican majority may be replaced by
the All-Armenian Movement majority, Paruir Hairikyan says it is wrong
to speak about reforms with such a mindset. "The people who think they
should take this track, they are already on the track for violating the
Constitution, in other words, they come to compare their ability for
anti-constitutional deeds to others' anti-constitutional deeds. This
is what we deny. For instance, a person says, one of the candidates
says they must work with the parliament. Either he is fooling us
or he is a fool since he does not understand that to work with the
parliament means to work with the government formed by the parliament
majority. What are they going to dissolve?" Paruir Hairikyan says.
According to him, if Levon Ter-Petrosyan considers changing something
in this way, we should accept the idea that a "demonic group is going
to fight another group, demonic or not, which however has a demonic
way of acting, intentions to violate the Constitution." According to
him, it is wrong to say that the Constitution does not work because
without the Constitution we would have been in a worse state.
