ARMENIA'S VOTERS MUST FIGHT AGAINST AUTHORITIES, NOT SUPPORT THEM - MP
16:28 ~U 18.06.13
Artsvik Minasyan, an MP from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D), agrees with Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan, who believes that the political opposition shares the
responsibility for emigration because society does not see any
alternative.
Speaking in Armenia's Parliament, he accuses society as well. With 80%
poverty in the country, 60% of Armenia's voters support the incumbent
authorities instead of "going to battle."
"This is our common guilt. We were unable to remove the incumbent
authorities because the authorities' policy forces people to emigrate.
I have no levers in my hands, have I?" he said in an interview with
Tert.am.
Minasyan does not accuse the opposition forces' of being unable to
come to terms with society.
The opinion that the opposition forces may unite is "artificial"
as well.
"The opposition forces can never unite because they have no ideological
grounds or a system of values," he said.
Minasyan believes Armenia's opposition is weak, and the latest
presidential election did not prove the opposite as "37 percent is
not enough."
"It must be 80%. However, when the incumbent authorities get 60% of
votes with 80% poverty in the country, it means society can hardly
be called society," Minasyan said.
