THE PRE-CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT IN ARMENIA, HOWEVER THERE IS NO REASON
FOR "VELVET REVOLUTION"
YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMINFO. Pre-conditions are present in Armenia,
however, there is no reason for "velvet revolution", said member of RA
National Assembly, politologist Amayak Ovanessian in the interview
with the correspondent of ARMINFO, commenting on the statement of
editor-in-chief of Russian Service of BBC Konstantin Eggert referring
to that Armenia will be the first state after the Ukraine where the
"velvet revolution" will take place.
A. Ovanessian noted that the hard social-economic conditions of the
people, the falsification of results of presidential and parliamentary
elections' in 2003, as well as the high level of corruption and shadow
economy could be called as pre-conditions for implementation of
"velvet revolution" in Armenia.
The only fact that in Armenia the "velvet revolution" have not taken
place yet is explained only with the weakness of Armenian
opposition. However, the post-soviet states bear a great resemblance
to each other and processes occurred in these countries, on the
principle of communicating vessels, "flow" from one state into
another, noted A. Ovanessian. "If the level of democracy and social
welfare in the post-soviet states is high enough, George Soros with
his money never can do a revolution there. It is not necessary to
underestimate the factor of people ever",- Armenian deputy
empathized. -R-
