It is possible that in 2006 Raffi Hovannisian will present a detailed
report on his notion of development of Armenia. Hovannisian stated
this during his news conference on April 3 at the Pakagits Club. The
interesting thing about the statement is that Raffi Hovannisian cannot
be found in the model of development he will present. The leader of
the political party Zharangutiun stated several times that for him
power is not a goal, and according to him, this should be the motto
of qualitative changes in Armenia, guiding all the political forces.
"For me it does not matter whether there will be early or scheduled
elections in Armenia if their quality does not change. A large-scale
consolidation is necessary for qualitative changes," says Raffi
Hovannisian. He says this is the only way of achieving change of
power and quality of governance. His presence in this new quality of
governance is not necessary for Raffi Hovannisian.
"Power is not the meaning of my life," he says. Of course, he does
not deny that he would try to satisfy the public and civil demand if
there is such.
Raffi Hovannisian will begin the process of transforming power from a
goal into a means from his political party. He remembers that during
the meeting in May, when the election to the party's bureau will be
held, he will demand that there be several candidates of the leader
of the party.
"We have to get rid of the complex of a political party of one person,"
says Raffi Hovannisian. Thus he hints at his fellow oppositionists
who mostly suffer this complex. According to Raffi Hovannisian, one
of the reasons of failure of the opposition movement is that everyone
wants to be leader.
"The recent activities of the opposition need a self-critical
approach. There was, in fact, a public, civil demand, but I think
there were both organizational and ideological drawbacks, also in the
sense that everyone wants to be leader, axis," says Raffi Hovannisian.
He says there are small axes within the opposition, and the problem
now is to organize a consolidated movement. Raffi Hovannisian believes
that the movement will develop within the current year.
"We should give up the gladiator's "you or me" approach," says the
leader of the Zharangutiun Party. According to him, this struggle
must have one main goal - "to mobilize citizens" for them to feel
the power of initiative. For this purpose Raffi Hovannisian's party
is going to be in the regions, halls, and "to listen to people." "As
well as to listen to the citizen, not only propagate downward. We
have lost the art of listening," says Raffi Hovannisian.
