  • Arthur Baghdasarian Had Infringed The Convention

    ARTHUR BAGHDASARIAN HAD INFRINGED THE CONVENTION

    The NDU leader, deputy of `Justice' bloc Vazgen Manoukian considers OEP
    collapse as the fight of lieutenant Schmidt's sons.



    In your opinion whose revenge was the `OEP'collapse, Robert
    Kocharian's, whose foreign political positions Arthur Baghdasarian
    opposed or the RPA and Government's whose speculations Arthur
    Baghdasarian detected?

    The authorities don't get so angry with the expression of different
    opinions about the policy. Simply as the convention of lieutenant
    Schmidt's sons coalition powers also have internal arrangements, rules
    of the game by which they have come to the authority. And if anybody
    infringes those arrangements he must be punished. They have found the
    way of punishment for other not to do the same. On the other hand
    there is `Bolivar won't take both of them» factor.

    So taking businessmen from the OEP, was it decided who became the
    winner for the post of the succeedent in Serge Sargsian-Arthur
    Baghdasarian contest? I think Arthur Baghdasarian hasn't touched the
    problem on this occasion.

    Now he has a unique opportunity to produce to the West as the Armenian
    Sahakashvili or Yushchenko who fought inside the authority for his
    pro-western views and suffered of it. In your opinion if he uses that
    opportunity maybe the West will be for his candidacy in the
    presidential elections?

    And who isn't pro-western in his declarations. All authority groups
    declare that our aim is to become the EU member etc. And it isn't so,
    that others aren't so pro-western but Arthur Baghdasarian
    is. Everybody wants to take on that «cloth». Every
    country has its heroes. Our country has been specific up to the
    present day and will remain so.

    My question can be considered naive, but maybe those businessmen
    haven't been coordinated, they all deny that pressure has been used on
    them. Maybe those businessmen who had found a political support for
    securing their property, left the OEP because of the change of
    weather?

    But why didn't they enter in `Orinats Erkir' at the beginning and not
    to the NDU. They had read the projects and considered that the OEP
    project was more profitable for Armenia. No. They had entered into OEP
    because it was the part of the authority; the ruling clique proves
    it. But when OEP looses the authority, those people must leave it. If
    they can't take advantages from the authority why should they stay
    there? Perhaps it is coordinated or they have decided themselves but
    it is very natural process.

    A week was enough to destroy the party. In your opinion how many time
    will be enough for destroying next authority parties, RPA and ARF?

    Dashnaktsutiun is less possible as it has a strong caste structure
    inside it. And if the ARF is Robert Kocharian's political ground the
    base of this authority is the RPA. It can cause a feeling of danger at
    Robert Kocharian and Serge Sargsian. And in that case the ARF won't be
    destroyed but will make its power weaken, divide into some parties. So
    it isn't accidental that Gagik Tsarukian's and public prosecutor's
    parties will act in the same field.

    Do you also think that the NA chairman must call for a vote of
    confidence and send in his resignation?

    I don't agree with it. It is adopted in such cases that the NA
    chairman doesn 't send in his resignation, doesn't leave the
    parliamentary system but leaves the system of governing that is the
    coalition.

    Do you think that Arthur Baghdasarian will remain the NA chairman
    leaving the coalition?

    Yes I do, if he isn't dismissed. There is no contradiction
    here. Especially when the NA chairman can have an opinion which
    doesn't correspond with the Presiden't opinion on the foreign policy,
    it isn't a reason for the NA chairman's resignation. The government is
    another thing. It is a unified body of adopting decisions and the
    members of the government doesn't have right to express discrepant
    positions.

    Let's summarize, should we meet with sympathy the OEP, which intended
    to be a reformer in the authority, or they have already adopted the
    rules of the game by which they were revenged?

    There is no point of sympathy. They have indeed adopted the rules of
    this game. There is some sort of thievish rules and those who infringe
    it are punished.
