YEREVAN, APRIL 10, ARMENPRESS. The post-election stage can be
considered to be closed after the April 9 rally of Raffi Hovhannisian's
movement. Political scientist Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan stated this
in a conversation with "Armenpress". Melik-Shahnazaryan underscored:
"Everything became clear at the moment Raffi Hovhannisian stepped
out of the political process and began to introduce merely populist
statements during his rallies without clearly identifying the
goals and program of his political struggle." In addition Hrant
Melik-Shahnazaryan noted that Raffi Hovhannisian exhausted himself
as a leader of revolution.
Political scientist Alexander Margarov does not share Hrant
Melik-Shahnazaryan's opinion regarding the movement. In a conversation
with "Armenpress" Alexander Margarov noted that the movement still
goes on, furthermore it even can have consequences during the
upcoming Yerevan Council of Aldermen elections, which are scheduled
to be held on May. In Alexander Margarov's opinion one part of the
people expresses its complaint by standing in the Liberty Square,
notwithstanding one does not see the activity, due to which it is
possible to influence the inner political life of the country.
