MosJan Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 SAMVEL BABAYAN’S PARTY CONGRESS HELD Today the congress of Dashink party headed by Samvel Babayan took place. The party will join those who adhere to liberal values and will cooperate with all the forces. During the congress former commander of the Artsax Defense Army Samvel Babayan subjected to criticism the short-sighted policy pursued by the authorities and the “billion” budget. “Armenia was declared a social state, however we see a budget with increasing expenses for the State machinery, concentrated in the hand of several individuals. In this context the minimal salary fixed at 15000 AMD seems to be a progress. Samvel Babayan’s critics was generally directed to the social field. As for the settlement of regional conflicts, stability and economic development, in his opinion, this can be achieved by integration of the South Caucasian family into the European Union. The former commander considers democratization of the conflicting parties to be the key for the Nagorno Artsax conflict settlement. “Four principles should function here: intermediate autonomy under the aegis of a competent international organization, volunteer re-settlement of the refugees and forced migrants, creation of preconditions of economic development in Artsax and the determination of the NKR status via referendum. In his speech he noted, “This union will be a union with the people, who need a real democratic force and national unity. Our slogan is power and unity.” Leader of the National Democratic Union Vazgen Manukyan, who was present at the congress, noted that this party will have face, philosophy, character, reason and modesty. All the parties were invited to the congress, however representatives of ANM, Hanrapetutyun Party, New Times, Democratic Party of Armenia and the Republican Party did not appear.

MosJan Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 BABAYAN CAN CRITICIZE KOCHARIAN BUT DOESN’T WANT TO BECOME PRESIDENT If you want to hear me criticizing Kocharian I can do it right now,” former commander of the NKR Defense Army, leader of Dashink party Samvel Babayan stated at a briefing. Like his other “true” friends in the political elite of Artsax Babayan reminded that there is no in Armenia to set conditions to him. “One can share his thoughts with me or ask for advice, but no one can dictate,” he stated. Samvel Babayan condemned those who bind his name with the events of October 27. “Everybody knows I have nothing to do with those events,” he said. When commenting on the absence of the representatives of some parties Samvel Babayan said, “Some parties will have problems caused by the start of our activities. Reformed should be carried out in the political arena and the strengths will be directed to it,” he said. “Dashink will abide by its program. The party has the purpose to unite the society and solve problems. We will not be either right or left, join the opposition or ruling party. The party will cooperate with all those who wish to cooperate,” Babayan noted. He refuted the hearsay on formation of a union with Artashes Tumanyan and Armen Darbinyan. “We are not going to unite with anybody for the participation in the upcoming election,” he said. The former commander reminded that he is a citizen of Armenia but is not going to run for President. “I have never been a presidential contender. I did not appear at the political arena to gain high posts. I just want to be useful for the people. I cannot be President by nature, since I am a freedom-loving by nature,” noted Samvel Babayan did not mention of the sources of party financing. “I know how to find sources. I have many friends in Armenia. Anyway I will not wait for money from the U.S., Russia or Europe,” he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z'areh Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i don;t have nothing agents him - i do admire him and his work what is there to admire? he fought in Artsakh? so did others...and died. (Although I don't hold not dying against him) he loves Artsakh with all his heart? so do others. he tried to assasinate, or teach a lesson to another rival? short of being a lunatic, only criminals practice that. love of the nation and being ready to die for it is one thing, to run a political movement, is something quite different, especially if this love of nation menifests itself in criminal behaviour. He is free to establish a political party, giving him importance is another question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
