The latest loud resignations in Armenia are dictated by external
forces, Ashot Manucharyan, a member of the Karabakh Committee,
ex-minister of the interior, adviser to the first president of Armenia
for national security, told ArmInfo.
Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan sent in his resignation lately. Alik
Sargsyan, Police Head, was dismissed on Tuesday. Afterwards, Speaker
Hovik Abrahamyan announced his intention to leave his post. The
parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for May 2012 and
the presidential one - for Feb 2013.
"Generally, there is some logic in all these resignations i.e. the
political process in Armenia have entered a dynamic stage. I think
that transformation processes in Armenia are dictated by certain
forces from outside, since the key domestic political process is
still regulated from outside. The latest resignations are the result
of the toughening fight of external forces for Armenia," he said.
As for the geopolitical context of the developments in Armenia,
Manucharyan said, dismantling of a part of the criminalized state
system closely connected with Russia comes to the foreground. For
Armenia, he said, it is positive, of course, and may lead to
dismantling of also the pro-western part of the Armenian criminalized
state system.
"Our country needs changes irrespective of how and why they happen.
It is just a start that will inevitably involve also the forces
that really represent the interests of our public, which, I hope,
will result in more fundamental changes," Manucharyan said.
