ARMENIAN MP, ARTASHES GEGHAMYAN, CALLES ARMENIAN PRESIDENT TO DISSOLVE
PARLIAMENT AND BECOME GUARANTOR OF NEW FAIR PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11. ARMINFO. Friday, an Armenian MP, Artashes
Geghamyan, called Armenian President Robert Kocharyan to dissolve the
parliament and become a guarantor of new fair parliamentary elections
in the country.
Speaking at an assembly of the National Unity party’s activists,
Geghamyan said that such a step would justify the president’s “previous
sins.” He also urged the former ruling party of Armenia, the Armenian
Pan National Movement (APNM), not to “bomb” the opposition with its
biting sarcasm, but to join it for restoration of the Constitutional
order in Armenia.
In his speech, Geghamyan also touched upon a possible departure of
Armenian militaries to Iraq. Of course, we must combat terrorism,
but Armenia has no moral right to send its experts to other country
struggling against terrorism when terrorism prospers inside it
and the killers of the Georgian citizen Poghos Poghosyan and the
organizers of the terrorist act in the Parliament have not been
punished so far. Artashes Geghyamyan touched upon the failure of
Armenian sportsmen at the Olympic Games in the Athens, the heavy
socio-economic situation in the country, the inevitability of the
Karabakh clan’s exile from Armenia, his vacation in the Spanish
Valensia and others things. However, during 2-hour sitting of the
party’s activists, no one remembered the tragic events in Beslan,
which took the lives of 300 hundreds of people, including 9 Armenians.
