YEREVAN, AUGUST 11, NOYAN TAPAN. After the presidential elections
in Armenia, an attempt was made to carry out an Armenian verion of
colored revolution whose scenario had been developed in the U.S,
sociologist Aharon Adibekian expressed an opinion during a talk with
NT correspondent. However, in his words, first Armenian president Levon
Ter-Petrosian and his supporters were not successful in this attempt as
there is no revolutionary ardor and its carrying force in our country.
At the same time A. Adibekian said that as a result of the opposition's
actions the authorities have not become sober as they did not make
concessions. The steps taken by the authorities, in particular, the
obligation to implement programs on the fight against corruption,
are, according to A. Adibekian, envisaged by Armenia's international
agreements.
By forecast of the sociologist, the internal political passions will
weaken in the near future. "The autumn will come, people will start
preparing for winter and their predisposition to rebel will recede into
the background," he said. However, if prices go up and the economic
situation worsens in Armenia, A. Adibekian does not rule out that a
wave of discontent will again rise in the spring.
