    Awaiting new revolution, political forces define goals and formats
    By Karine Mangasarian

    Today, revolutionary rumors have re-activated in Armenia. And
    now everybody knows that Aram Karapetian of â~@~New Timesâ~@~]
    is taking the lead over the April revolution. Who believes in this
    revolution? Can it take place in Armenia? And eventually why is Aram
    Karapetian appropriating all the opposition functions?

    Chairman of the â~@~Republicâ~@~] party political council Albert
    Bazeyan says that those who are preparing for a revolution must
    say whether there are pre-conditions for it or not. As to the
    â~@~Republicâ~@~] party, Bazeyan says it has not received any
    invitation fro Aram Karapetian, but if it does, it will consider
    possible collaboration and format.

    Leader of Constitutional Right Union Hrant Khachatrian believes
    that the nation will only support a revolution, if it feels that
    it is not guided by an external force. Khachatrian believes that
    Karapetianâ~@~Ys term â~@~S revolution - describes the speed
    of changing the situation. Khachatrian does not exclude possible
    participation in the revolution, if a serious project and suggestion
    be offered.

    Non-parliamentary forces are not so inspired by Karapetianâ~@~Ys
    revolutionary initiative. Leader of the New Communist Party Yura
    Manukian says that â~@~ revolution is not a childâ~@~Ys play. It is
    a serious programmatic approach to changing the social system. And
    relevant ideology today have only Communists and Dashnaks. Other calls
    for revolution can only destabilize the situation in our country.â~@~]


    He believes that revolution is not about replacing personalities but
    about offering new programs. The communist leader advises against
    relying on the â~@~ semi-determinedâ~@~] external forces.

    And the leader of the National Accord party Aram Harutiunian compares
    the revolutionary initiative with learning to play chess for the
    first time. He says: â~@~Today, some of the Armenian politicians
    are like some of the chess figures, who want to get quickly to the
    place of a king. I cannot understand Aram Karapetian.

    Of course, we have a number of social, economic and political problems
    like illegitimate authorities today, but one should not go for sport
    euphoria on the political stage. There are issue, but they need
    projects to improve the situation.â~@~]

    And leader of Republican faction Galust Sahakian seems to be
    unserious about the revolutionary moods. He said: â~@~In regards to
    the timelines, I trust Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who did not expose any
    dates until the very revolution.â~@~]
