OSKANIAN: POLITICAL MONOPOLY IS THE WORST EVIL IN ARMENIA

March 20
"The worst evil in Armenia's internal political life is the political
monopoly." Ex-Foreign Minister of Armenia, BHK Party member Vartan
Oskanian said in his interview to RFE/RL Armenia Service today.
"Today our president, the parliament speaker, the prime minister,
all the directors and heads of departments are either members of the
same party or its supporters. I would like to note that the monopoly
situation existed in the past as well, but it is worsening day by day,"
Oskanian said.
According to him, the upcoming elections to the Yerevan Council of
Elders will be extremely politicized. "One striking demonstration
of their politicized nature is that only political parties may run
in these elections," Oskanian underlined. He said the elections to
Yerevan Council of Elders are important because a large proportion of
the population and a number of important structures are concentrated
in Yerevan.
