Karapet Rubinyan described the internal political situation in these words yesterday.
One of the guests of the National Press Club, representative of Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s pre-electoral headquarters, former NA vice chairman Karapet Rubinyan named the post-electoral situation as a “velvet revolution” without any external assistance, sponsorship and colors. As a proof Mr. Rubinyan alluded to the international standpoint on Armenian presidential elections. Mr. Rubinyan finds three ways for the solution from the current situation: commitment of the PACE demands, attempt of cheating the European structures or forget Europe, increase the pressures inside the country and develop the revolutionary situation. “What should people do? What can they negotiate about?” the answers to these questions are the following: “To come to agreement regarding the terms of holding special parliamentary and presidential elections, to create guarantees for free and independent elections, to form the CEC by 50-50 principle., the CEC chairman should not be local, elections should be held only by proportional list, , the first deputies of the RA Public Prosecutor, chief of Police, NSS chief, Defense Minister, NCTR president should be assigned by the opposition. “A1+” and “Noyyan Tapan” TV Companies should be reopened, a law about the corporatization of TV Companies is adopted, and the falsifiers of the elections are punished.
Samvel Nikoyan from RPA, didn’t agree with the above noted demands and finds the solution of all problems in the formation of parliamentary commission which should be comprised of inter and out of parliamentary forces, international experts. The commission should examine the March 1 incidents and publish its conclusion. S. Nikoyan thinks that the opposition should be for the formation of that commission and saw confidence towards it. ARF Parliamentarian Artsvik Minasyan tried to oppose to the oppositionists’ accusations that the elections have been flawed reminding that ANM was the pioneer of frauds. Karapet Rubinyan, alluding to a book he has recently read in the cell, said that ARF was the first in distributing bribes in 1919. He also admitted the omissions made by the ANM and said: “ When should it be finally stopped? We think that day is today, it is now.” He also proposed the ARF to join them and stop any kind of frauds.
