The controversies inside the government, the coalition seemed to
be going to cheer up the opposition. The opposition, however, keeps
silent, and no actions are taken. "I think there is a rule here.
After the referendum there a strong surge rose, and internal
fermentation followed. One cannot be always alert. These developments
will surely affect these internal processes, developments, the rest,"
says Vazgen Manukyan.
Vazgen Manukyan says there a change in the country is absolutely
necessary, therefore, the social movement does not have an
alternative. According to the leader of the National Democratic Union,
only a social movement can lead to a change. "In other words, this
movement should become so powerful as to make people in power to
start thinking about their future, like in 1990. In fact, there was
a movement, and there was the Central Committee, there was dual power
and the existing situation was, in fact, formed through an election,
and imparted with a legal force," says the leader of the National
Democratic Union. According to him, only this path will lead to a
change of power in the election 2007. But if the country fails to
reach a condition of social uprising, Vazgen Manukyan considers it
pointless to run for election; at least he says so on behalf of the
National Democratic Union. And the leader of the National Democratic
Union still does not say whether they will again ally with Ardarutiun
or some other force, because it is not certain yet whether they will
run for parliament or not.
According to Vazgen Manukyan, if a social movement develops but fails
to achieve a change of power, it is possible that the Georgian model
will work, but if both fail, the social movement will "skip 2007
and go to 2008." One thing is certain, according to Vazgen Manukyan,
that there must be a change, that it cannot be achieved by a couple
of parties, and the electoral system does not work in Armenia.
