Ankakh.am quotes ARF-D Member of Parliament, Lilit Galstyan's
statement made on the context of March 7, International Women's
Day celebration; "We are living in man's era and no matter how much
democratic, compatible with the rule of law, socialist we say Armenia
is, the state keeps being governed with an eastern-clan type, way of
thinking, a petrified, male stereotype culture". Galstyan added that
"Political culture and traditions, stereotypes, conjunctures distorting
interpartisan democracy wait for women in real politics...
Many political parties are not constructed upon ideology. They are
rich peoples' clubs that throw themselves in battle only for their
interests and to have a share of the power. Women do not compete in
this context, where the rules of the game are based on material and
money. If the political parties are close clubs and the male culture is
dominion then the "matters are solved by men" way of thinking prevails.
