“168 hours” weekly tried to clear some issues with President of the
“New Times” political party and political analyst Aram Karapetyan. Had
he analyzed the events of “October 27”, why did those events take place
and who were the people interested in the events? He replied: “I had
done some analysis about that before I came to Armenia and I knew one
thing for sure: this was a murder which took place at the time when
Armenia was deciding which road to take. In my opinion, this murder has
both inter and external political sides to it. The outside forces were
the ones interested, but the internal forces have not caused any
problem. This is my personal analysis.” According to A. Karapetyan, the
future authorities have one big issue to solve and that is part of the
pragmatic field. They have to have judges who make decisions for
themselves and prosecuting groups for revealing the terrorist acts of
October 27.
