    WHAT CONNECTION DOES THE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATION HAVE?

    In Armenia, nobody doubts who the real leader of the Republican Party
    is, who is going to strengthen his position in the political party.

    He even set the timing, "in three or four months the results of the
    process underway will become visible." It goes without saying that
    the minister of defense Serge Sargsyan is concerned, who is simply
    going to buy the Republican Party, Manuk Gasparyan says.

    However, even the "prophesy" of Manuk Gasparyan is useless already
    because the "sale" of the Republican Party has already taken place,
    which was confirmed during the extraordinary conference of the
    Republican Party, when the one or two-days-old Republicans, who had
    bid for membership to the Republican Party on Serge Sargsyan's fancy,
    were elected members of the Council of the party.

    One of them, for instance, the mayor of Yerevan Yervand Zakharyan,
    not only was elected member of the Council, but also elected others
    like him. And he was assisted by the minister of communication and
    transport Andranik Manukyan, studying the ballot of voting to the
    Council of the Republican Party together with Zakharyan. Helping
    one's neighbor is not bad, of course, especially for a man who has
    announced for a number of times about his close tie with God. He has
    his political party, which is called "Solidarity".

    Consequently, it is supposed that the partisan ethic required not
    interfering with the election of the Council of another political
    party, especially if one is just a guest at the conference of this
    political party. Of course, it is difficult to say that Yervand
    Zakharyan followed Andranik Manukyan's advice in voting. It is
    also difficult to say that Andranik Manukyan advised anything to
    Zakharyan. But it is a fact that Manukyan was scrutinizing the ballot
    of voting to the council of the Republican Party, which our photo
    camera recorded. Consequently, it is already a historical fact that
    Andranik Manukyan was in the focus of the election of the Council of
    the Republican Party.

    And this fact is interesting not only because it is an interference
    with the affairs of another political party. The point is that
    Andranik Manukyan has always had controversies with the leader of
    the Republican Party Andranik Margaryan. The recent controversy
    occurred over the reports of ministries on 2005, when the prime
    minister assessed the performance of the Ministry of Communication
    and Transport as satisfactory, pushing the minister into a fury. This
    is a fresh example. But there is an older, though a more vivid example.

    When Andranik Margaryan was opening his hotel in 2001, President
    Kocharyan and literally the whole government was there, except
    Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan. So it was a surprise to see the
    minister of communication and transport among the few guests of the
    extraordinary conference of the Republican Party, who later appeared
    during the voting to be more than just a guest. Maybe it was an effort
    by Andranik Margaryan to make it up with his namesake, although such a
    truce resembles a capitulation rather. And under these circumstances
    it is already unimportant who capitulated, the prime minister to the
    minister of communication or transport or to the minister who had
    probably invited Andranik Manukyan. The fact is that the election of
    the Council of the Republican Party already takes place outside this
    political party as well.
