YEREVAN.- Former presidential candidate Andreas Ghukasyan believes
civil disobedience is one of the ways to change power in Armenia.
Unless political forces manage to overcome crisis by April 9
(inauguration day), society will get the right to launch actions of
civil disobedience, he told reporters on Monday.
"One of the most effective forms is non-payment of taxes. The main
resource that is used by authorities is budget. The management is not
transparent, given that the government itself has long been speaking
about corruption. Thus, society has the right to refuse paying
taxes to the regime which is not using them to serve the people,"
Ghukasyan said.
If the government uses force against rally participants, it will have
to bear responsibility, as civil disobedience is the constitutional
right of every person, he stressed.
Ghukasyan considers compromise between the opposition leader
Raffi Hovannisian and head of the ruling party, Serzh Sargsyan is
unreachable.
