ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES UNABLE TO CONTROL PEOPLE'S ANGER FOR EVER, OPPOSITION REP SAYS
Tert.am

"If the authorities use violence again, they will have to swallow a
bone bigger than the March 1 bone, which they have so far been unable
to swallow."
Over the past three years, various actors in Armenia's domestic
political arena have brought various charges against the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) - attempting to seize power and rejecting
the opportunity to come to power, supporting the authorities in
Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and refusing to support them, Arman
Grigoryan, ANC-representative at the Council of Europe, stated at
the ANC rally in Yerevan.
At present, the ANC is being charged with "a dishonest deal" of
dialogue, he added.
One more charge, which is no less dangerous, is that the ANC's tactics
is a utopia because authorities shooting at the people will never
agree to early elections. Even if they agree, such elections will
not be free or fair, Grigoryan said.
It is "a realistic moment", which, however, shows a tendency of
"stripping people of hope."
According to Grigoryan, authorities either agree to or reject proposals
for a dialogue - it depends on the degree of public discontent.
The people's anger has reached the highest point, and the authorities
are wrong if they think they are able to control it for ever,
Grigoryan said.
"If the authorities use violence again, they will have to swallow a
bone bigger than the March 1 bone, which they have so far been unable
to swallow," he said.
