YEREVAN. - For 2011 the main domestic political achievement for
Armenia is the presence of real competition, political scientist
Sergey Minasyan stated during an interview to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
`The absence of any consolidation in the governing and the opposition
forces prove that there is real competition among governing forces and
among opposition forces as well. At one side there is a significant
factor - Armenian National Congress. Also there are other not less
significant opposition forces fighting to become main opposition
player,' the expert said.
According to Minasyan, another competition is beginning among the
governing coalition members. There is also competition among groups in
ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) itself. There are different
interest areas inside the RPA and the elections of parliament speaker
and vice-parliament speaker showed that.
Talking about the parliamentary elections of 2012 the political
scientist mentioned that it will be an interesting and active
campaign, sometimes with scandalous political processes which are
peculiar for a country with a real competition for power.
`I guess that the political field will be cleared from oligarchs,'
Minasyan concluded.
