YEREVAN. – Board Chairman Aram Manukyan of the Armenian National
Movement Party, which is a part of the opposition bloc Armenian
National Congress (ANC), refused to respond to his former fellow
party member Karapet Rubinyan’s comments.
During Monday’s press conference, Rubinyan had proposed Manukyan to
withdraw his candidacy from the Electoral District No. 4 of capital
Yerevan’s Arabkir Administrative Region, and thereby to yield his
spot to “[opposition Heritage Party MP] Zaruhi Postanjyan, one of
the best MPs of the Third Republic [of Armenia],” in the upcoming
parliamentary elections.
“I will not comment on that statement,” Aram Manukyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
He also refused to comment on the statement made by the aforesaid press
conference’s other speaker, Heritage’s Vice Chairman Ruben Hakobyan,
who had said: “In one part of the day you cannot speak about change in
power, and, then, in the other part to negotiate with the authorities
to enter the parliament.”
“We have assumed a unilateral obligation not to respond to the
statements by other political forces, except for the [ruling
coalition’s] Republican Party [of Armenia]. We need to disregard such
comments, words by other forces,” ANC representative and MP candidate
Vladimir Karapetyan had noted in his turn.
