OPPOSITION MUST ANALYZE DOMESTIC POLITICAL AND GEO-POLITICAL PROCESSES
ATTENTIVELY TO CHOSE RIGHT MOMENT TO CHANGE POWER THROUGH PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT:
V.DALLAKYAN
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 23. ARMINFO. The current ruling regime in Armenia
is paralyzed, and in the present situation a change of power and
extraordinary presidential election is inevitable, Secretary of the
opposition bloc Justice Victor Dallakyan says in his interview with
ARMINFO speaking of the opposition's plans for 2005.
He mentioned three possible versions of changing the power: palace
revolution, as it was in 1998; change of power due to external forces;
change of power through people's movement. He called palace revolution
unacceptable for Justice bloc as a method to get rid of the present
ruling regime, as "it will only change decorations with the same
actors." The second version would bring to power a group of marionettes
executing the will of those who brought them to power, Dallakyan says.
The most acceptable for the Armenian opposition is the change of power
through a people's movement. The tactics of the Armenian opposition
is as follows: to analyze the domestic political and geo-political
processes attentively and chose the right moment to change the power
through people's movement. That is, the strategy of parliamentary
opposition in the struggle against the authorities has not changed. The
forces which accuse the Justice bloc and the National Unity party
of passivity and propose other ways of struggle against authorities,
let them act at their own discretion, he states.
Forecasting the political developments in Armenia in 2005, Dallakyan
states that they will be around three major problems: falsification
of the presidential election of 2003, the situation around Karabakh
conflict and terrorist act in the Armenian parliament in 1999. If the
Armenian opposition, the Justice bloc and the National unity party,
was so united in the course of the second round of the presidential
election in 2003, as it is now, it would achieve cancellation of
the election results at worst, and a victory of a single candidate
at the best. The only mistake of the opposition was that it did not
take into account the real essence of the present ruling regime,
the fact that the authorities are able to apply force. However,
we shall take into account this fact in future, Dallakyan states.
