According to the political logic, the parliamentary election in
Armenia were falsified, the leader of the opposition "New Times"
party, Aram Karapetyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
He said that the paradox and absurdness of the situation is that over
the last months everybody, including the authorities, were saying about
the catastrophic outflow of population, about 30% of poverty in the
country, and as a result, about the threat to the national security
of Armenia. But this did not hamper the coalition to gather 80% of
votes. "This means that our people with their 7000 year old history
suffer either of idiotism or masochism, if after all this they go on
supporting the present authorities. But I am sure that the Armenians
are smart and gifted people. For this reason, they could not make such
a senseless choice. It means that the election were fully falsified
and the votes were bought", - Karapetyan said.
He thinks that at present formation of the new coalition is hardly
possible, as the ruling Republican Party of Armenia together with its
satellite - Orinats Yerkir have already formed an absolute majority,
and there is no need to set up a new political body.
In this context, Karapetyan thinks that Prosperous Armenia Party
is in a rather hard situation, as it considered itself like a real
alternative to the ruling party. "The point is that being one of the
brightest representatives of local oligarchy the leader of the PAP
Gagik Tsarukyan was trying to break monopoly of the power party. Now
he should either continue playing in opposition, or will confess the
dominating role of the RPA, enter the coalition and become the second
"bagdasaryan". Knowing Tsarukyan's nature, I am sure that he will
not go Bagdasaryan's way. It means that Tsarukyan will conduct more
or less opposition policy", - Karapetyan said. As for the Armenian
National Congress, Karapetyan added that perhaps it will worsen the
situation and harden its position.
