By September 15, the Armenian Intelligentsia Forum will conduct a meeting, where they will publish a list of Armenian officials that are corrupted and have criminal groups undercover. Academician Rafael Ghazaryan, Lenser Aghalovyan, head of “Fatherland and Honor” party Garnik Margaryan are just a few among the 400 members of the forum.
Anyhow, it turns out that the Intelligentsia Forum will not be satisfied only by publishing facts and the names of people that are in contact with criminal groups. They are going to visit the regions of Armenia in order “to show who the real authorities are”. We were told by member of the Intelligentsia Forum, head of “Fatherland and honor” party, Garnik Margaryan. “We must give them concrete facts. Within the period of September 10-15 we will have a forum, where we will inform people about those officials and criminals that steal from us. The purpose is to make it clear to people who is ruling the country and to understand that they are the ones with the power for the time being”, said G. Margaryan. They say that they have political committees that will work for that purpose. They say that they are going to have different difficult working phases and this phase is just the beginning. “We are going to work with people. We will discuss issues with them in our headquarters and will explain to them how they have fallen in this bad situation and how the current authorities made it to the top of the chain”, says Mr. Margaryan and adds that their purpose is to open the eyes of people for the purpose of returning their captured ruler back to them. According to G. Margaryan, 400 participants of the Intelligentsia Forum will be in charge of spreading the propaganda aimed towards discovering the facts for the society. According to G. Margaryan, these members will be the ones that will discover facts of criminal activities on the part of high ranked officials and the people covering them up and later they will lead the confused crowd of people and coordinate their movement, “This work can’t be done by one person only; it should be done by the whole forum and parties”. There are rumors saying that this action is supported by Ashot Manucharyan and he is the one that gave them the facts and the names. A. Manucharyan refuses to make any contacts with the press, so we tried to find out this information from G. Margaryan, who told us that A. Manucharyan is not connected with their initiative in any way. “It is not true; A. Manucharyan is not connected with our activities in any way. This action was initiated by the political board of “Fatherland and Honor” party. When we spoke about it first, many parties agreed with us and appreciated our initiative, thus we open our doors for them to join us”, said G. Margaryan and added that the problem does not concern one person only and that the mentioned work should be done by a whole system. “The national elite should stand up and lead people. There is no other way. One part or one leader cannot do that; it should be done by the national elite”, says the leader of “Fatherland and Honor” party. According to the latter, after the elections of 2003, which were full of fraudulence, the party decided to support the formation of the council of the Intelligentsia Forum. “We have our role there and we will do that work”, assures G. Margaryan. The members of the Intelligentsia Forum have complained numerously that the authorities created obstacles for them and didn’t provide halls for their meetings. G. Margaryan says that they have always had problems with finding a hall for their meetings. “We have had such problems, we have applied to the former NA speaker and the prime minister, but they didn’t provide a hall for us. Later when we were given the hall of the Aram Ilyich museum, they came and locked the door. There have been dozens of such cases before”, said the latter. According to them, if they have such problems this time too they will inform Mass Media about it and will organize their meeting in an open-air site. “Anyhow, we have arranged a hall for our meetings. If they close the hall, we will organize our meeting open air”, concludes G. Margaryan.
Recently, politicians are speaking about some mysterious lists. Whom do they want to frighten with those lists? They probably want to hint something. Do they want to make the internal or external powers understand something? If they have the society as a target, people know everything better then they do and may speak about all the properties the high ranked officials have. The problem is what kind of the Intelligentsia members have/
