Irrespective of Armenian high-ranking officials' successful or
unsuccessful speeches on the international platforms, Armenia will
not make progress without a change of the system and power, Vahan
Hovhannisyan, a Bureau member, Armenian Revolutionary Federation
Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D), told journalists.
The matter concerns essential changes in the domestic political
situation for the people to feel it at once, he added.
"In Russia, for example, power is handed down from the successor
president to his predecessor. Almost the same is taking place
in Armenia, which, however, is not a change in the situation,"
Hovhannisyan said. According to him, the Putin-Medvedev tandem is
not in harmony with democratic values. Two persons make a decision,
and "heaven forbid that they pedal in the opposite directions." Such
developments are fraught with many disastrous consequences.
As to the suspended dialogue between Armenia's ruling coalition and the
opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC), Hovhannisyan expressed
the confidence that "the fundamental principle of the dialogue was:
the first one to commit blunder. And the ANC proved this one."
