HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: TER-PETROSYAN MEETS PEOPLE'S PARTY OF ARMENIA LEADER
09:52 ~U 05.02.13
First president Levon Ter-Petrosyan visited Monday the People's
Party of Armenia (PPA) leader, who was recently reported be abroad
for treatment.
The first president was very probably interested in Stepan Demirchyan's
health, but the visit is thought to be very important in the light of
the recent developments in the opposition Armenian National Congress
(ANC) of which Ter-Petrosyan is the leader. The paper claims, citing
recent reports, that Demirchyan's party is now going to withdraw from
the alliance. But in comments to the paper last week, Demirchyan
denied the report, saying that the PPA has been and remains a key
political party in the ANC.
The paper says further that the alliance is planning a rally on
March 1 in commemoration of the people who died in the March 1, 2008
post-electoral turmoil in Yerevan. Vahagn Hayotsyan of the Armenian
Pan-National Movement said earlier that they have already applied to
the Yerevan City Hall for permission, adding that Ter-Petrosyan is
going to be present at the event.
But the paper doubts that it is really going to be just a commemoration
rally not accompanied by political speeches. Sources in the opposition
alliance told Monday the Haykakan Zhamanak reporter that they are
still undecided about the plan. The paper notes that members of
different political parties and individuals who quit the ANC in the
recent years have always avoided speaking openly on that score. Only
one person, the Motherland and Honor party's leader Garnik Margaryan,
has reportedly said that they will join the rally by all means if
that's for the commemoration of the March 1 tragedy victims.
