Society Can Get Support of Army and Police
`We know well that for years on political parties run in the
elections, dispute the results and again arrive at the same thing and
reckon on what is happening. If elections are not free, political
parties become something obscure. It is thus difficult to understand
what is government, what is opposition, everyone tries to assume a
certain image. The political parties are groups which appear to the
public with a certain image. Everyone tries to justify their actions,'
said the head of the Armenian Center of National and International
Studies Manvel Sargsyan during a meeting with reporters.
In answer to the question if wrong campaign was the cause of the
failure of the opposition, the director of ACNIS said, `When we think
whether the parties conducted the campaign right or wrong, we must
find out whether it is important or not. If voters are under pressure,
the electoral campaign is meaningless. The political parties
understand it well, they do not rely on the society. The political
parties try to show their role to the regime, and now they are outside
this role. For example, the ARF has been left out of the role it has
created, and no matter how it behaves, it cannot succeed.'
The political scientist thinks that the political parties are not
acting transparently and are doing favors to one another. `The ANC
does not condemn vote buying by the PAP when it is asked to comment.
The parties are victims of their such behavior. None of the political
forces tries to look into the problems of the society, come up with
solutions to receive people's votes. Everyone knows that issues are
resolved somewhere else, so they do not rely on the society.'
Sargsyan believes that if the society sets to remove the anti-legal
regime, neither the political parties, nor Russia and the United
States will be important. There are a lot of cases when the society
was able to get the support of the army, police, made them obey their
rules.
The problem is that the society is not relying on itself and does not
believe in its potential.
