M.Muradkhanyan said that he didn’t agree with the announcements in the media that there is no charismatic leader among the opposition members. Then he pointed a finger at Alexandr Melikpashyan, head of Nork Mental Hospital and said: “Why do you do that? Why don’t you take care of those mad people till the end? Why do you let them go without treating them completely? You can see them on all TV channels blaming us. Even if no one tells them who the leader is, people know that there is no better charismatic leader then Artashes Geghamyan”. Everyone sitting in the hall welcomed that idea (including A.Geghamyan).
S.Muradkhanyans called the 21 political parties, which were going to vote for the constitution, as “sons of lieutenant Shmidt”. And Artashes Geghamyan called them as “rabbits”, which think that they let them calve so much only because they love them. What these 21 parties don’t know yet is that they are going to be sacrificed later. How could Armen Rostomyan recognize them? Even when people from their own buildings don’t know them?”,-said Artashes Gehamyan. A. Geghamyan’s speech was aimed towards the people who had criticized him (including Marxist Davit Hakobyan). “There are only three members in his political party, but only one of them exists. He is the only one remaining, and the other two members are the pictures of Marx, in one of them Marx is young, and in the other picture he is already old. Recently he claimed that there was no opposition any more, that the opposition had been dissolved. As I understand we have to explain something to him, and explaining will be done both by the regional coordination board and by the central board”,- these kinds of developments were promised by ex-communist A. Geghamyan to the Marxist. The next target was the head of “New Communist Party” Youri Manoukyan: “The follower of Lenin’s ideas said that we had to follow European standards. How can we stop ourselves from doing that? What changed in your life that made you follow the principles which you had rejected before? Do you remember how Brutos killed his brother Julius Caesar by saying that he was trying to save the republic? Charles De Corde killed Marat when the poor guy was taking a bath. In order to clarify my idea for the authorities, I will point out the way Natasha Karaliova betrayed Igor Nikolaev. And now Youri Manukyan betrayed the ideas of Lenin the same way.”A. Geghamyan is sure, that the Constitutional Draft, which had been adopted by first reading in the NA, was amended only after Kocharyan had called and obliged them to do that. As for the existing Draft, according to Mr Geghamyan, it wasn’t a result of the works of the coalition, but a result of the initiatives of Serj Sarksyan and Robert Kocharyan. In order to describe this transformation in a duly manner, he told a joke: “Someone asks the hen what its best achievement is in 2005, it says that it has laid a five-kilo egg. And then they ask the hen what goal it has in life and it says that it dreams of laying a ten-kilo egg. Then they ask the cock what its best achievement was. It answers that its best achievement was that the hen has laid a five-kilo egg. Then they ask it what its main goal is. The answer-it dreams of kicking the ostrich, because the five kilo egg wasn’t a result of its efforts, but a result of the ostrich’s efforts. I mean the Constitution is not a result of how the coalition works. This Coalition laid this five-kilo egg (the Constitutional Draft) not as a result of its leaders’ efforts, but as a result of the ostrich’s efforts. In this case the ostriches are positive personalities: Serj and Robert. As for the Coalition leaders, they are the ones who will have a chance to kick the ostriches.” After this kind of ideas Artashes Geghamyan started to speak about national alliances, especially about “Nig Aparan” (the leader is the general prosecutor of Armenia Aghvan Hovsepyan). “Please tell me is there any Article in the Constitution that prevents them from instituting legal proceedings against criminals and people who steal millions? I have a useful address, where there is a big building called “Golden Palace”. You’d better go and find out how they could implement these kinds of expensive constructions, find out whether they have pad VAT or not. That is why we say that no amendments can bring to positive results in the ruling period of these authorities. That is why we petition people not to vote “for the authorities””,-said Artashes Geghamyan.
In spite of this heated speech, Mr Geghamyan suggested the authorities to make a deal with them: they agreed to call “for” the Constitution only if the authorities agree to dissolve the NA and form a new government after the referendum. “I am sure that people will vote “for” the Constitution too, because these people at least have realized that they can do something good for the country and can provide a chance for fair and free parliamentary elections”,-said Artashes Geghamyan. A. Geghamyan didn’t clarify his idea concerning how he was going to cooperate with these authorities, which according to him “can change their nest as many times as they want, but anyway their nest will smell, because this musty smell doesn’t come out of their nest, but rather, it comes out of themselves”.
