After the disclosure of the party list of the Heritage Party, Karine
Hakobyan, Heritage board member, voiced dissatisfaction with the list,
and the formation mode saying it was formed in compliance with the
wish of a couple of people. Karine Hakobyan said about her intention
to leave the party.
In order to clarify whether Karine Hakobyan's discontent is justified,
and whether her accusation is right it is necessary to study all the
details. Though, even in this case, the Heritage representatives will
keep stating that everything was right, and Karine Hakobyan and others
will oppose that democratic principles were violated.
In this case, however, another issue is outlining. In fact if
one disagrees with something in the party, they immediately start
complaining and leave it.
Why are they leaving? Why do they not stay in the party and try to
support their opinions even if their struggle will be in vein? Why
did Karine Hakobyan express her dissatisfaction after the publication
of the list when she could still find support for her points of view
among the society? Why did she do it only after the list was ready
and published?
After all, if the party's strategy and ideology are the same, if it
is loyal to its values and ideas, why do they leave as soon as they
have a disagreement instead of remaining in the party and promoting
and defending their opinion and acquiring supporters?
It would be at least strange if the opposition left the country once
it failed to come to power. It would be more effective to stay in
the party and fight until one is removed from the party. Moreover,
if the removal is illegal and groundless, it is also necessary to
fight against it.
In the end, one of the most important issues of Armenia is the low
level of democracy inside parties and it is necessary to promote the
solution of this issue through public struggle for one's ideas and
points of view up to reaching change of party leadership. Otherwise,
if all this is considered as unnecessary and senseless, being in
politics also becomes unnecessary and senseless.
This does not concern only Karine Hakobyan and Heritage. Almost all
political subjects of the political field of Armenia have gone through
this, parties split for this reason and new ones are created and
marginalized. This has been the main reason destroying the political
system. It is necessary to stop this and each person involved in the
political system should try to promote this.
