    VLADIMIR AGHAYAN: CASTING SHADOW ON WORLD ARMENIAN CONGRESS, ON
    THRESHOLD OF ELECTIONS, LDPA ATTEMPTS TO REMIND SOCIETY ABOUT ITS
    EXISTENCE


    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Republican
    Board of the Liberal Democratic Party of Armenia stated recently that
    it leaves the World Armenian Congress (WAC) as it does not want to
    share responsibility with that organization which does not present
    reports and is inactive. Whereas, Vladimir Aghayan, as the WAC Deputy
    Chairman informed the Noyan Tapan agency, the LDPA has never been a
    founding member of the World Armenian Congress as the WAC is an
    international public organization and was registered by the Justice
    Ministry of the Russian Federation. And according to the RF
    legislation, political parties do not have right to become a founding
    member of a public organization about what the LDPA was informed
    still in 2003. Naturally, the LDPA has never born responsibility and
    will not bear for the LDPA activity, and the WAC, in its turn, is not
    obliged to officially inform the LDPA about its activity.

    And that activity, in V.Aghayan's words, it rather wide-spread: one
    of the main goals of the WAC activity is to gather Armenians round
    national interests where there are priorities: to assist processes of
    the social-economic development and strengthening of statehood of
    newly-independent Armenia, of international recognition of the
    genocide and liquidation of its consequences, of the Nagorno Karabakh
    problem, keeping Armenians in Diaspora.

    In V.Aghayan's words, during the three years of its existence, the
    WAC presented 7000 computers to schools, including not only ones of
    Armenia and Artsakh, computer classes opened at Armenian schools of
    Buenos Aires, San Paulo. The WAC, with its heads' resources, bought
    130 flats and gratuitously gave to refugees' families with the right
    of property. More than 350 pensioners every day get free food from
    the charity dining-hall. A new school for 500 pupils is being built
    at present in Stepanakert on the account of the WAC resources.

    In V.Aghayan's estimation, with a similar statement, the LDPA, at the
    threshold of elections being prepared in the republic, attempts to
    remind the society about its existence and in this way to appear in
    the political field. And as many people prepare for the elections in
    the republic, in Aghayan's words, people will also be found, who
    again touching upon the WAC or its chairman's activity, will attempt
    to draw the society's attention at them. "I think that this way is
    not honest as it turns out that for reaching political goals, they
    attempt to cast a shadow on activity of such an international public
    organization already entered a wide arena of activity, as the World
    Armenian Congress is," the WAC Deputy Chairman said.
