The leader of the Nor Zhamanakner Party (New Times) Aram Karapetyan
assures that he has the report of one of the ambassadors to Armenia,
where Armenia is characterized as a tertiary country. According to
Aram Karapetyan, the ambassador informed his leadership that what is
accepted in many countries of the world is not accepted in Armenia.
To work in Armenia you have to take money from others instead of
paying yourself, to assure them that you are their friend.
Armenia is also unique because at difficult moments there always
appears someone who starts dictating scenarios. This is a situation of
controlled crisis, defines Aram Karapetyan and says, "This is a very
unserious thing because no justifications of the offered scenarios are
given. In Armenia, for instance, Serge is the only person who believes
that Serge Sargsyan may win a free and fair election. Only someone
who has a vivid imagination or is carrying out someone's order may
suggest this." In this context, Aram Karapetyan suggests appointing
Hmayak to all the offices to settle the question of scenarios.
Aram Karapetyan thinks this time the Armenian elections will be held
in accordance with the scenarios of the leadership, because there
are geopolitical developments, factors, there are force-majeure: the
issues of Iran and Karabakh, home political developments in Georgia.
"The Armenian government was not lucky. The question of Iran
emerged. In the geopolitical sphere Armenia does not have a position.
The head of state has to refuse to go somewhere not to have to make
arrangements."
Currently any activity may cause a strong revolutionary surge,
predicts the leader of the Nor Zhamanakner Party. However,
for a victory the opposition also needs geopolitical support,
believes Aram Karapetyan. Besides, the opposition needs to establish
conditions to guarantee free and fair elections; freedom of campaign,
elimination of participation of the first public channel, criminals
and law enforcement agencies, which live on "the taxes that we all
pay." Without the support of the geopolitical sphere a campaign
is possible but a victory is not. "We had such an opportunity in
2003, but the leaders were not resolved enough." Nevertheless, Aram
Karapetyan thinks that the political processes will be unpredictable.
