The Armenian people are standing on the edge of a crash and as
things stand today it's not possible to point out anything good. Each
political party or group pursues its own interests and not those of
the people's - they say one thing, but in reality do something else,
said People's Party leader Tigran Karapetyan, speaking to journalists
in Yerevan today.
"As proof I have to cite the Republican Party of Armenia [HHK]. The
HHK presents itself as a democratic party and stresses that they
have the people's trust as a force that will lead to prosperity. The
mayor should have been elected and been an independent subject, but
he receives instructions from above. A self-governing territorial
body that operates independently doesn't exist. All wear the HHK
badge and fulfill commands," he said.
Karapetyan added, the economy is monopolized and the "chamber of
intelligentsia," students, with the help of student councils, aspire
to become HHK's soldiers.
"President of the same student council were [HHK spokesperson Eduard]
Sharmazanov, [Education Minister Armen] Ashotyan and many others,"
he recalled.
The People's Party leader asserted that people today run after power,
by having strength striving to seek revenge from the weak.
"The main purpose of political parties today is to rule, to hoard
money; that's why by being just an [average] official they all become
billionaires, acquiring real estate in various countries," he said.
Karapetyan noted that it pains me that the state of Armenian politics
is so sad and there is no one who will seek justice and think about
the people.
"Today, power births power. At one time, [first president of the
Republic of Armenia] Levon Ter-Petrossian brought [ex-president]
Robert Kocharian and Serzh Sargsyan and became a victim. Tomorrow
too will come another power that will 'swallow' these authorities,"
he concluded.
