YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The People's Party of Armenia
condemns the October 23 detention of a number of supporters of Levon
Ter-Petrosian, the first President of Armenia, considering this fact
a consequence of the panic raised in the power camp. This statement
was made by Stepan Demirchian, the Chairman of the People's Party
of Armenia, during the October 26 mass meeting. In his conviction,
the crowded mass meeting speaks about the fact that the spirit of
people is finally recovering.
Stepan Demirchian referred to the crime committed in the National
Assembly on October 27, 1998, mentioning that a number of questions
concerning that case have been left unanswered, in particular the
question of why President Robert Kocharian from the very beginning
put forward the hypothesis of those, who committed the crime, having
acted on their own. "Certain political figures can be bought, the
votes of people can also be bought, however, nobody is so rich to be
able to buy his/her own past: October 27 is a stigma on the forehead
of these authorities," Stepan Demirchian said.
Aram Sargsian, the Chairman of the Hanrapetutiun (Republic) party,
as well referred to the October 27 events. In the words of the latter,
that was the worst day of his life, after which he committed himself
to live both for himself and for his killed brother. According to
Aram Sargsian, just after that crime Armenia, as a state, turned
into a cartoon. And the October 26 mass meeting, as he mentioned,
can be called "a mass meeting heralding the beginning of the end of
the current authorities."
