The Republican Party is aware of its propaganda resource and rejects
black PR by any political force. Republican Member of Parliament
Armen Ashotyan declared this tolerance on October 9 at the Tesaket
press club and also spelled out his definition of black PR. Political
criticism of the Republican Party against other forces is not black PR,
he says. "If I say I disagree with this activist's idea because of
this or because of that, it is not black PR. If I say this activist
was seen in one place or another at three, four, five o'clock in the
morning, it is black PR," Armen Ashotyan said.
The reporters wanted to make sure if it is black PR if one Republican
activist or another is said to visit a casino at three o'clock
at night.
"If casinos, or any other types of entertainments, were out of
law, going to casinos would be illegal, so a reprimand would be
appropriate. But if it is not illegal, I am sorry to say that it is
a violation of the constitutional provision on private life which
is often ignored by some media and political activists declaring
themselves to be democratic," Armen Ashotyan answers. Perhaps it should
be added to his answer that everyone has the right for private life
but casinos are public places, consequently, it is not a trespassing
on private life to say that one activist or another visited a casino,
especially that there is every reason to doubt that those activists
frequenting casinos are trespassing on public money, in other words,
on the private contribution of each taxpayer.
