Yesterday on the occasion of the 16th anniversary of Shushi Liberation NA chairman Tigran Torosyan, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, ministers and MPs visited the Yerablur. However, many of the liberation warriors, who have directly participated in the war of Shushi and the war in Karabakh, were in prisons on that day. What is the opinion of the Prime Minister about the fact that may of the courageous warriors were in prison? As a response and after being silent for a few seconds Tigran Sargsyan said, “You are now trying to spoil the holiday mood that dominates here. I think there are certain questions that it is not right to comment on.” We think that there are certain answers that it is not right to comment on. Read more

From the pan-national movement to Armenian National Congress
Filed Under 168 Hours Weekly | Leave a Comment
During the 2nd congress of the “pan-national movement”, held in the conference hall of the Government yesterday, the first President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan made two lengthy speeches. His speech started with the estimation of the events of March 1. In his first public speech since the March 1 clashes in Yerevan between his supporters and security forces, Ter-Petrosyan also accused Western powers and organizations of betraying the cause of Armenia’s democratization with their largely positive assessment of last February’s “disgraceful” presidential election.

First heroism of the new minister
Filed Under 168 Hours Weekly | Leave a Comment
The parliament has adopted the government’s program with 88 votes for and three votes against it. The three deputies who voted against the program were from the Heritage party. However, the biggest surprise of that day was not the adoption of the program, but the actions of the new transport and connection minister Gurgen Sargsyan, who is a member of Legal State party. Ho did not do anything else but pressing the button of an MP to vote for the program. By the way, he liked that job so much that besides voting for the program he also voted for other five bills. Even some cameras of TV companies have recorded that process clearly showing how the minister is closing the screen of MP Meilk Gasparyan and pressing the button. Certainly, both M. Gasparyan and G. Sargsyan are refusing the fact that they have voted instead of others. Furthermore, the minister of transport and connection even criticized such things. We hope that after the press publications about the above-mentioned fact the prime minister will, as he has promised, protect the members of his government. Read more

Comrade Vahan to be criticized
Filed Under 168 Hours Weekly | Leave a Comment
ARF faction member and former presidential candidate Vahan Hovhannisyan has proposed a suggestion to establish a public chamber. He believes it is the best way to go out of the political crisis. According to press publications, Vahan Hovhannisyan has also informed about this suggestion to his coalition colleagues. However, this suggestion may be a reason of scandal because former MP Hmayak Hovhannisyan is accusing Vahan Hovhannisyan in plagiarism. Hmayak Hovhannisyan says that he was the first person to suggest this after the parliamentary elections 2007 and it is his idea. “I will make a noise in the whole world and let Vahan Hovhannisyan give answer how he can do that if they ignored my suggestion that time. No faction agreed with my suggestion that time. Only Viktor Dallakyan agreed with my suggestion and supported our bill in the parliament, but due to the fact that the majority did not support us, our bill was not adopted,” said Hmayak Hovhannisyan to our correspondent and emphasized that it is not the appropriate time to establish such chamber now.

Filed Under 168 Hours Weekly | Leave a Comment
Member of the Armenian delegation in the PACE Davit Harutyunyan stated in the National Assembly that the independent investigation of the events of March 1 should be entrusted to the Ombudsman of Armenia. The head of the delegation in the PACE Armen Rustamyan also made such a reference. Has the Ombudsman of Armenia Armen Harutyunyan received such a suggestion yet or does he agree that his office must be occupied by the independent investigation? “To be honest, it was a surprise for me. I am not ready to give any response to that question yet but I am for the conduct of the investigation,” said Harutyunyan to the reporter of our newspaper. He also mentioned that the Ombudsman’s office will release its statement about the events of March 1 on April 25. “There are also recommendations. You will see our standpoint in that report,” said the Ombudsman. Read more

Filed Under 168 Hours Weekly | Leave a Comment
On Saturday during a rally in the Freedom square of Yerevan presidential candidate Arthur Baghdasaryan announced that he had received a call threatening to kill him. However, A. Baghdasaryan did not inform any details concerning who called him and how, but he said that if anything happened to him the authorities would be the ones to be responsible for it. “I am ready to die, to give my life in favor of Armenia,” said Arthur Baghdasaryan and assured that no one could terror him. Yesterday several candidates expressed their opinions concerning this announcement. “I think it is a pre-election trick. If there has been such thing, he could apply to the police. I asked the police in the morning and they told me that there had not been any applications so far,” said ARP candidate PM Serzh Sargsyan. In addition, Vahan Hovhannisyan said that those who are ready to sacrifice their life in favor of our country could do it in Karabakh. By the way, Tigran Karapetyan is the only presidential candidate who has condemned the terror. Read more
