If there is an opportunity to meet with the first president, the
first prime minister, now the leader of the National Democratic
Union Vazgen Manukyan, will not mind, he said on September 5 at the
Pastark press club. Manukyan would not even mind to meet with Robert
Kocharyan. "Meeting does not imply agreement," Vazgen Manukyan says.
In this connection he said the NDU meets with other forces, however,
the meetings in the political sphere are rather to sustain bridges,
the NDU leader thinks, saying no definite conclusions and arrangements
are made during the meetings of his parties which he could state now.
With regard to Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Vazgen Manukyan asks a rhetorical
question, the question which used to be asked for Putin: "Who is Levon
Ter-Petrosyan?" "I knew only one Levon Ter-Petrosyan until 1998 who
was the president of the country, and with whom we waged a political
struggle for some idea. That Levon Ter-Petrosyan was not found anywhere
over the past ten years, there is no new Levon Ter-Petrosyan, you see,"
Vazgen Manukyan says.
As to the argument on the choice of person or idea, Vazgen Manukyan
says the importance of person is big, and the argument of person and
system is fundamental. For instance, the leader of the NDU asks how
we can trust equally two persons who are saying the same thing about
the replacement of the model. "If, for instance, I said and say Stepan
Demirchyan said, whom would you believe and trust more?"
Vazgen Manukyan said with a smile during the post-news conference
briefing.
