Karapet Rubinyan addressed the civil conference organized by the
founder of the Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian. The ex-member of the
Armenian National Congress says the governments which succeeded each
other were unable to meet the simple expectations and hopes of the
citizens to create an environment where they are legally and socially
secure. He says the beginning of the year inspired hope. On the one
hand, the Arab revolutions, on the other hand, the social situation
aroused revolutionary moods in the society. It seems that if the
Congress led them and kept them in the street for at least a few days,
Serzh Sargsyan who became president through rigged elections and the
bloody events of March 1 would leave, Rubinyan said.
However, the Congress stopped being fundamental opposition and started
a dialogue with the government, the result of which can be guessed
only. Karapet Rubinyan concluded that scheduled elections are to be
expected, which means goodbye revolution, goodbye fundamental changes,
and we will face a rigged election again.
However, Karapet Rubinyan notes that it is not hopeless. The reason is
the multiple civil initiatives. Rubinyan says these initiatives must
grow into a civil forum where a free discussion to shape the movement
which will create premises for changes.
