/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The year of 2005 in Armenia may be called the year
of death of the opposition, Caucasus Media Institute Director,
political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan stated at Caucasus 2005
international conference held in Yerevan. In his words, in 2005 the
opposition rating kept on falling what could be vividly seen after the
constitutional referendum when a small number of people attended the
opposition rallies. `People are bored of talks about revolution. This
became quite obvious after the events that followed the
referendum. The domestic situation in Armenia can be interpreted the
following way: weak power and absence of opposition,' he remarked.
Alexander Iskandaryan also emphasized that the conflicting parties
still work towards conservation of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. The
political scientist supposes Karabakh has just become a `subject of
talks'. `All say that precise dialogue will become possible after a
political decision is made. But the interested sides know that there
will be no political decision,' he said.
As for the rise in gas prices the CMI Director remarked Armenia loses
most of all. `When Russia blocks gas pumping for Georgia it does not
think of its strategic partner and ally. The same situation is with
the withdrawal of the military base from Akhalkalaki. We are not asked
weather we want these weapons. They just bring it,' he remarked.
