August 13, 2011 | 17:43
YEREVAN. - Armenia is expected to face hot political autumn, political
expert Yervand Bozoyan told Armenian News - NEWS.am explaining it by
the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
`Political forces' preparation for the elections is in a full swing,
which means new developments will follow,' he said.
The expert did not rule out possibility that new political forces will
be formed, or the existing ones will be united in blocs and unions.
According to him, the Armenian society is filled with disappointment
and dissatisfaction with the political and socio-economic situation.
Society is looking forward to major changes, and this may become the
lever for such developments.
`Existing political powers do not reflect interests of society. People
are `scattered' into different groups - the Republican Party, Orinats
Yerkir, and Prosperous Armenia Party - but not all of them get full
support in the society. In this context a new bloc or a new force with
new agenda may become a political center,' he added.
Asked by the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent which ideology may a
new political force adhere to, the expert said he finds difficult
making such forecasts.
`The notion of ideology is distorted in present day Armenia. For
instance, a political force calling itself liberal is pursuing
extremely anti-liberal economic and social policy. All the definitions
widely known all over the globe are presented in a distorted way in
our country and have nothing to do with global concepts,' Bozoyan
added.
If there is a new political center, it must dramatically change the
policy pursued in the country and establish a new agenda. In this
case, this force is likely to succeed, he concluded.
