«We\’ll struggle till the end»,-the opposition trio promised yesterday.
The joint meeting of three opposition forces, «Impeachment», alliance, «Republic», «New Times» parties took place at the Freedom Square yesterday and where about 15000 citizens took part. Vahagn Khachatryan, speaking about the RPA, PAP meetings , assured that the current authority «doesn\’t have power, resources», because their crowded manifestations are theatre performances. In V. Khachatryan\’s words, people are forces to participate in those meetings using the administrative levels. He also promised the participants of the meeting that «2003 won\’t be repeated, we\’ll struggle till the end, and we’ll stay here until dismissing the authority. We know how much votes we have and which percent it is» and called the potential falsifiers «not to participate in that crime as it won\’t be forgiven». Representative of «Impeachment» Petros Makeyan also made a speech about the authority representatives\’ past and their promises nowadays. One of those parties, ARF, struggles against corruption. They have ministers in the spheres of health protection, social welfare and education. Tell me, have the corruption been reduced during these years? Then Mr. Makeyan added: “Dear Dashnak friends, if you struggle against corruption, try to be different in your intrusted spheres. He also noted that Vahan Hovanisyan had declared that he had 4 milion Drams, $ 8 thousands, € 220 000, when his salary was 3 million 478 thousands AMD. «Here is the true face of Dashnaks»,- the speaker said. PAP was also criticised: «Those who are going to vote for PAP must know that they vote for Robert Kocharyan». As for RPA, Petros Makeyan opposed to Serge Sargsyan\’s accusations as if the oppositioists are liars and charlatans, saying: «You are the liars, you who promised 8 thousands qurter km independent Karabakh but today the whole Karabakh with its 7 regions is considered as an occupied territory. You are the lairs that promised to restore the zone of disaster but didn\’t. You are the liar who promised to create 40 000 employments, but didn\’t.”
“New Times” Party leader Aram Karapetyan invited to a debate in the Freedom square. “Come and stand here, in front of the people, and we’ll see who is who.” In his turn Nikol Pashinyan told that a fracture was made in the country. «There isn\’t so many hings to say today because we see everything on your faces. Your faces say and predict everything».
