THE OPPOSITIONISTS DIDN\’T OVERCOME THEIR RAGE

May 25,2007 00:00

NA parliamentarian y , fourth in «Heritage» Party list says.

Representative of «Impeachment» alliance Aghasy Yenokyan has told on the occasion of the «Heritage» election that «Rule of Law» Party as well as «Heritage» got more than 5% of votes because they are “suitable” opposition. Raffi Hovanisyan was not radical enough ». In answer to our request Anahit Bakhshyan told: «I faced such an ugly fact, in this whole period: our oppositionist partners weren’t able to congratulate us. It isn’t offensive for us at all. It simply shows their dissatisfaction that they didn\’t manage to overcome their rage and simply congratulate saying that it is already a progress that the part of opposition won seats in the NA. Regarding those descriptions as if we are “suitable” for the authorities, it depends on comparison. We are not radical in comparison of those politicians who used to make such announcements which the public like. I myself like the speeches of rallies but people showed by their votes that it wasn’t policy”.

In answer to our question that “Heritage” is being accused of forgetting what happened to it and conducting transactions with the authority, like the PPA did in past, Ms. Bakhshyan told: «Were those accusations justified, of course not. The same is our case».

 

Anyway, not only PP leader Tigran Karapetyan but also OEP deputy leader Mher Shahgeldyan affirmed that electoral bribes had been distributed for «Heritage» party. «We have some information that the RPA representatives have distributed bribes for «Heritage» Party in Yerevan », – Mr. Shahgeldyan told «Aravot».

Anahit Bakhshyan told: «One of our members told that people have voted for «Heritage» Party by green pens in Shengavit community. We have already found out that RPA supporters were voting by green pens. So it is obvious that people have taken money from the RPA but voted for «Heritage». In answer to our observation that OEP deputy leader meant just another case, Mrs.Bakhshyan answered: «If they insist on it, let them prove. We\’ll welcome that ».

«Heritage\’s» involvement is also connected with geopolitical interests, observe it as a curtsey to the West, in particularly Kyrk Kyrkoryan / the latter , as well as Raffi Hovanisyan’s father, Richard Hovanisyan is from Boston/. Ms. Bakhshyan described such affirmations in this way: “It is nonsense, especially when it is spoken about Kyrk Kyrkorian and Gerald Gafesjian, I can give an example to prove the impossibility of that affirmation. The owner of «Armenia» TV Comapny is Gafesjian, and if indeed supported us, «Armenia» should specially elucidate Raffi Hovanisyan and «Heritage». But we invited «Armenia»TV to one of our meetings in Shengavit Community but it didn\’ come.

Both the opposition and the authority called the «Heritage» to abandon their mandates if they insist on getting at least 250 000 votes but only 81 000 votes have been registered. In answer to this observation of «Heritage» party\’s speaker, RPA Council member said: «It isn\’t correct to get what you want and complain after. If you don\’t believe in the elections\’ results, abandon your mandates». Anahit Bakhshyan answered: «Those 81.048 voters /official registration/ cherish their hopes with, and it will be incorrect to give up our mandates our supporters\’ hopes will fade. I have found out whether the elections will be canceled if we give up our mandates. But it isn’t so, our seats will be distributed among RPA, PAP and ARF, and the 100 percent pro-authority parliament will be formed. What is then?
