YEREVAN. - The Armenian body politic is still under the influence of
fear, and the citizen is unable to express his free will, political
scientist Andreas Ghukasyan stated during a press conference on
Wednesday, and stressed that the reason for this is Armenia's being
an illegitimate state.
"In my view, this government will be provisional. Both the opposition
and the authorities have suffered a defeat. One was unable to bring
about change while the other is unable to solve the problems and form
a government on its own," Ghukasyan noted.
He added that coercion became one of the tools during the parliamentary
elections, and he predicted that the next government will be
provisional, which is a defeat for the political system.
In Andreas Ghukasyan's words, this notwithstanding, Armenia's civil
society is gradually becoming more active.
The press conference's other speaker, "Cooperation for Democracy"
Center Director Stepan Danielyan, noted that a total administrative
coercion was put to use during the elections.
"At the same time [, however,] these were the best elections since
[19]91," he said, and added that he has a hunch that certain political
forces "send" special people "on a mission" to the society in order
to control its activeness.
