"A revolution is the only way to establish democracy in Armenia,"
Narine Lazarian, chairwoman of the board of the National Press Club,
said in Yerevan today.
There are all preconditions for a revolution to take place in the
country, she said addressing a seminar entitled "Possibility of a
revolution in Armenia: preconditions and consequences".
The head of the National Press Club said that "the incumbent political
elite in Armenia is losing its position and is not capable of
resolving current problems". Lazarian said that "the incumbent
authorities have established a monopoly on politics, are hindering
healthy political competition and are openly promoting corruption".
She went on to say that a revolution was the only way to establish
democracy in Armenia as "it will provide tools for fighting crime and
building a true civic society".
