`I will be the last one to leave the movement,' leader of the
`pan-national' movement Levon Ter-Petrosyan announced during the June
20 demonstration in front of Matenadaran.
No more than one week after this announcement the process of leaving
the movement began.
Leader of Marxist Party David Hakobyan publicly announced about his
decision to quit the `everlasting' struggle.
Most probably David Hakobyan's decision to leave the struggle is not a
painful fact for the movement, they can show that everything is ok. But
let's remember the inspiration of LTP and his supporters during the
presidential campaign when the head of the Marxist party announced
about joining them.
At that time the unification of some social organizations and one-man
parties was a matter of enthusiasm for them, especially in case of the
leader of Marxist party who is very popular due to his eloquent and
funny speech.
By delivering regular speeches in the Theatrical Square the main
Marxist was sure that `Levon Bek's' victory is out of question, and
that only `Levon the lion-hearted' can save the country and the nation.
But today he speaks about the bankruptcy of Levon's ' tactical arsenal,
not hiding his deep disappointment.
In general, June 20 demonstration displayed that the courage of the
revolutionaries is not the same as it was before. No matter how much
they assure that they are full of determination, anyway there was lack
of enthusiasm during this meeting.
Therefore the main Marxist is starting a new life, especially because
the regular elections are not very far and he hasn't time and efforts
to waste. That is why there is no sense to go after `Levon Bek'.
Especially because the last resolution passed by PACE closed the
question of extraordinary elections. In this case as the main Marxist
says only a fool would be attached to the old `boss'.
By the way during the recent days there is no information about new
hunger strikes in Yerablur, no `political walks' in the Northern Avenue.
As we now LTP's other companion-in-arm Aram Karapetyan has left the
country, allegedly to solve his heart problem. By the way the latter
didn't shift his family to Armenia. Of course the leader of `Nor
Jamanakner' party hasn't come out with an announcement to quit the
struggle, but the fact that he doesn't have any intentions to leave
Moscow means that he has no intentions to link his political activity
with Levon.
We must mention that the leader the People's Party of Armenia as well
has nothing to do with the movement, who was from the beginning a
`sleeve of a vest' in this movement. During the recent days the leader
of `Hanrapetutyun' party is also not as active as he used to be. Let
alone the fact that Hovhannes Hovhannisyan is deprived of the title of
a party-leader.
Thus after the coming demonstration we will see who will be the next
one from LTP's companions-in-arm to leave the `movement'. The guys are
on holiday and we hope they will have time to think about their
struggle which has already met a complete deadlock.'
