"The Communist Party of Armenia has yet to become the ruling party
in Armenia," leader of the Communist Party of Armenia, Comrade Ruben
Tovmasyan told "A1+". He says that he is waiting for that moment
every minute of every day and is sure that it has yet to come.
"I see our return when the people finally mature, so that they won't
misunderstand things come election time. We have so many advantages,"
said Tovmasyan.
Although Tovmasyan doesn't consider himself Nostradamus, he is
confident that his party's ideology will live on.
The Communist Party of Armenia has only 2,000 members, but Comrade
Tovmasyan has no complaints.
"It's normal. The most important thing is that we have our regional
organizations in all regions of Armenia."
The Communist Party leader is not concerned over the fact that there
are few young members.
"The youth have so many things on their minds that the last thing
they can think about is ideology. Boys want to buy flowers for their
girlfriends, the girls want to buy presents for their boyfriends
and so on. If I were given a chance to speak to them on television,
they would see how their fathers and ancestors used to live and how
they are living. They don't know anything nowadays."
When we reminded Comrade Tovmasyan the example of Moldova when the
Communists lost, he said:
"The example of Moldova showed once again the democratic attitude of
the Communist. They weren't able to solve the issue of the president
through one voice and they held a second round of elections. Nobody
was arrested and nobody was killed. This was the advantage of the
Communists."
