YEREVAN. – If the ruling coalition’s Republican Party of Armenia’s
(RPA) new motto-“Let us believe, so we may change!”-was US President
Barack Obama’s motto, RPA should not be accused of plagiarism because
the problems could be the same in both cases, RPA MP Manvel Badeyan
said, during a press conference on Tuesday, commenting on the views
that RPA’s motto for the upcoming parliamentary elections was either
stolen from the opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party’s “Let us change
our lives!” motto, or translated from that of Obama.

“If Obama wants reforms, that is good, but if [Armenian President
Serzh] Sargsyan wants reforms, that is bad?”, Manvel Badeyan asked.

In his turn, the press conference’s other speaker, opposition New
Times Party Chairman Aram Karapetyan noted this motto was accurate
in Obama’s case, since he had come to change the situation that was
created by his opponents. But Serzh Sargsyan, as per Karapetyan, is
using this motto in the case of his fourteen-year authority, and it
is interesting to know that he wants to change the situation caused
by who and why has he created a situation which needs to be changed.
