A question arises: whom is HAK today fighting against \u2014 Serzh Sargsyan? Dashnaktsutyun (the Armenian Revolutionary Federation)? Raffi Hovannisian? Tigran Karapetyan? asked People&#8217;s Party leader Tigran Karapetyan himself, speaking to journalists in Yerevan today.<\/p>\n<p>Karapetyan touched upon HAK representative <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epress.am\/en\/2011\/04\/06\/hak-activist-predicts-heritage-partys-and-armenian-revolutionary-federations-future\/\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>David Shahnazaryan&#8217;s press conference<\/strong><\/span><\/a> Wednesday, saying Shahnazaryan calls everyone a &#8220;project.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A question arises: who&#8217;s saying this? The former director of the NSS [National Security Service of Armenia] \u2014 really, the national security minister [a title which existed during the Soviet period] \u2014 in the basements of which people have perished. Are they entitled to discredit anyone, they themselves being discredited? One is national security minister; one, minister of internal affairs [likely referring to Suren Abrahamyan]; and one, military prosecutor \u2014 [Gagik] Jhangiryan, in whose stomach Oct. 27 has settled&#8230; do these people have the right to find fault with immaculate people and call them &#8216;projects&#8217;? Here a question arises: whom is the struggle against \u2014\u00a0the authorities or the real opposition? This is what&#8217;s concerning,&#8221; he said, referring to notable HAK members.<\/p>\n<p>In his words, he doesn&#8217;t like that the people trust Levon Ter-Petrossian and that they &#8220;don&#8217;t take separate steps.&#8221; Speaking about the possibility of cooperating with HAK, Karapetyan said, &#8220;there are many, many normal people there with whom he will cooperate, but not HHSh [the Pan-Armenian National Movement].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Karapetyan also touched upon the establishment in the political arena of a third entity, a part of which he considers himself to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the problem in this? We are forming a third force [political entity], we don&#8217;t want people to go after Levon in despair (seeing no way out), or Serzh [Sargsyan]. There are such people, for the love of god. But the large mass that accepts the plunder of neither the past nor today, these people must have an alternative. It&#8217;s this alternative they fear, that they call each third entity a project.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A question arises: whom is HAK today fighting against \u2014 Serzh Sargsyan?
