    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. Among political technologies used
    in totalitarian countries are the intimidation of people, keeping
    them in an atmosphere of fear, banning rallies, the existence of
    political prisoners.

    Aram Manukian, member of the Armenian National Movement (ANM) party's
    board and the Armenian National Congress (ANC), made this statement at
    the November 14 discussion at the National Press Club. According to
    him, today Armenia corresponds to the above mentioned criteria. The
    political technologies have become mixed with criminal methods which
    is highly unacceptable to the opposition and society.

    Political technologist Armen Badalian in his turn said that a
    nomenclature system has formed in Armenia, as a result of which most
    political technologies used are dirty. These technologies are electoral
    bribe, taking people to police stations "for a talk", intimidation,
    etc. It is becoming fashionable in the circles of young political
    figures to flatter senior politicians and compare them to Churchill
    and de Gaulle.

    In the words of the deputy chairman of Armenia's PR Association Arman
    Saghatelian, deconstructive competitive political technologies now
    prevail in Armenia's political reality. "For example, if someone sees
    that his rival is taller, instead of trying to grow up he hits the
    rival in the head to make him shorter," A. Saghatelian said.

    According to political scientist Andranik Tevanian, if such notions as
    "idea" and "leader" are absent in the political field, any technologies
    are powerless here.
