ARF-D REP. REP. SAYS SELF-CRITICISM NOT ENOUGH FOR AUTHORITIES
14:24 ~U 14.06.13
A senior parliamentarian of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D), Armen Rustamyan, says he doesn't
think the authorities are serious enough about taking a critical
approach of past activities.
According to him, the self-criticism attempts are not something new,
and they completely fit the logic behind their policies.
"They have monopolized everything, politics, economy etc. And now they
are seeking to monopolize the political arena, representing themselves
as both the government and the opposition. This is absurd, of course,
but it's a long time we see they have made that their working style,"
he told reporters at the National Assembly on Friday.
Rustamyan, who heads the ARF-D faction in parliament, says the
governing circles are trying in this way to show they are good at
everything. "But they don't understand that if they said A, it is
also necessary to say B. As the principles of Christianity say,
confession is not enough. So who is expected to repent?" he asked.
Comparing such a conduct (confession without repentance) with cynicism,
Rustamyan continued, "I am very happy that the NA president was the
first to say what we wanted to say. But if there is no effort, all
that is self-deception."
