«I DO NOT CONSIDER ARTHUR BAGHDASARYAN AN OPPOSITION»

«Legally the parliamentary elections are over and we cannot do anything. We are going to dispute the results of the elections at the Constitutional Court only to show the international community that we do not accept the results»,- announced leader of the «New Times Party» Aram Karapetyan today. The «New Times Party» will not join the «Country of Law Party» in applying to the Constitutional Court or will not provide it with the proves of fraud cases which he has got.
However, he is ready to present the Constitutional Court the registered fraud cases of the powers which joined «Impeachment». «I apologize, but I have never considered the «Country of Law Party» an opposition», - said Aram Karapetyan. From his point of view, Arthur Baghdasaryan should have replied Robert Kocharyan announcing that the latter was the betrayer.
Without missing the chance, the journalists tried to find out whether the «Heritage Party» was an opposition or not. «It is still an opposition»,- said Aram Karapetyan and added that the political powers should unite about an idea. «For example, we are people with various ideologies, united under the idea of «Impeachment». Mr. Karapetyan assured that the rallies of «Impeachment» would continue and the opposition would do its best to broaden the circle of participants.
The «New Times Party» also managed to find out why the RA citizens absent from the Republic were not allowed to take part in the elections. «They were going to rig. It is clear why they did not allow using ink for thumbs, since if a person was to vote several times that would easily come out. Unfortunately, we could never think that about 470 thousand illegal passports would be prepared. They are easy to differentiate, the false passports do not have holograms and the seal of registration on them is not black but blue». Aram Karapetyan stated that technologies for rigging elections in the RA are improving. «I am convinced that the presidential elections will be more difficult». He did not share the opinion that the nation was massively sold.
«Judging from the information published by the Central Electoral Commission only 15-20 percent of voters sold their votes. The authorities introduced the idea of selling votes, because Serge Sargsyan can become President only by buying votes». Aram Karapetyan also reminded about the results the «Prosperous Armenia Party» was talking about before the end of elections and those they finally got. «By spending millions the «Prosperous Armenia Party» has got as many votes as the opposition». According to Aram Karapetyan a generation change is taking place in the opposition.
The leader of the «New Times Party» is going to be nominated during the 2008 presidential elections and he is sure that he or the leader of the «Country of Law Party» Arthur Baghdasaryan will be a real competitor of Serge Sargsyan. As to Raffi Hovannisian, Aram Karapetyan thinks that the authorities will create real obstacles for him. The Leader of the «New Times Party» does not exclude that the presidential elections might take place earlier than they are expected, if the «Impeachment» manages to raise a wave. Aram Karapetyan is convinced that the «Impeachment» and the «New Times Party» will cooperate during the presidential elections as well, since it will become an «Impeachment to Serge Sargsyan».
