YEREVAN. - Today's political picture is surreal, and it seems to
reflect the reality; but, at the same time, it does not does not
respond to the real opinions and assessments.
Armenia's first Human Rights Defender, "Against Legal Arbitrariness"
NGO Executive Director, and public activist Larisa Alaverdyan stated
the above-said during a press conference on Saturday.
In Alaverdyan's words, "We [i.e., Armenia] are looking at the West with
one eye, at Russia with the other, but are making drastic decisions."
Commenting on Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko's recent statement
that Azerbaijan's view should be taken into account in connection
with Armenia's accession to the Customs Union, she said Lukashenko
had not earned a single ethical penny to make such a statement,
which likewise is surrealism.
"In turn Turkey wants to enter where Armenia appears. All this enables
me to describe it as a surreal situation. And this is not a result
of Armenia's independent plan," Alaverdyan noted.
She added that Armenia's senior officials are stating that they cannot
do anything because they are a poor country.
"Are there no people with a rich thinking? This is a self-blockade,
a self-siege. All this testifies to the fact that the political
elite are not changing and it maintains the old thinking," Larisa
Alaverdyan added.
