YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "Many facts exposing the authorities’
and their close invironment’s being corrupted and criminalized,
unfortunately, remain ignored." Gagik Tadevosian, Vice-Chairman of
the National Unity Party, declared at the December 8 public hearing
organized by the anti-criminal movement and dedicated to the role of
media in fighting crime. In his words, the reason of such indifference
to facts published by the opposition and some media over the past years
is that the Armenian public has lost its culture of discussing topical
issues. And lack of this culture, in his opinion, marked the beginning
of arbitrariness so typical of the current Armenia. G.Tadevosian
called on the opposition and media together and successively to
fight for establishment of sound atmosphere in the society. In the
words of Alexan Karapetian, another Vice-Chairman of the party and
Secretary of the National Unity parliament faction, inconsistency of
a number of media engaged by the authorities who present distorted
information is an obstacle in this fight. "The anti-criminal movement
and the whole opposition will continue to struggle against the illegal
authorities. Robert Kocharian should resign and Serge Sargsian should
not become President. And we expect adequate coverage of events from
media," A.Karapetian declared.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
