DISMISSALS ARMENIAN COALITION'S PR MOVES - EXPERT

The sociologist Aharon Adibekyan believes that people that facilitated
the Republican Party of Armenia's (RPA) progress have left the party.
The internal struggle going on now runs counter to the authorities'
work style. Personnel changes are interesting due to their
consequences. Specifically, a number of key figures have left the
Armenian National Congress (ANC), but nothing has essentially changed
as the ANC has a leader "who considers himself much more superior to
the others."
Personnel changes always take place both before and after elections.
So the recent dismissals must be considered in the context of
elections. They are also a means of distracting public attention
from the ANC-coalition confrontation. It might be considered an
effective PR move by the coalition - it is not ANC rallies, but the
recent dismissals that are the talk of the town now. This panic will
subside before the New Year.
Adibekyan forecasts a heated struggle in the new Parliament - "fresh
forces against the old team." A number of MPs are "very difficult to
change." "If the RPA replaces them with fresh forces, we will have a
Parliament of new quality. Otherwise, the Parliament is now kind of
in shadow," Adibekyan said.
"An authoritarian regime is still in power in Armenia. So the
president's further tactic is of importance," the expert added.
