POLITICAL ANALYST: ARMENIA IS GOVERNED BY FAMILY CLANS
14:48 | April 14,2014 | Politics
Political analyst Levon Shirinyan does not think that Armenia's new
prime minister [Hovik Abrahamyan] will take any measures to put an
end to monopolies in the economy.
"If his predecessor [Tigran Sargsyan] said he 'would fight the
phenomenon,' but he could not, this man [Hovik Abrahamyan] does not
say such a thing. So, shall we hope that he will do it? I have no
reasons to be pessimistic or optimistic in the issue. The country has
reached a deadlock, and they should take drastic measures to save the
situation. It is always easy to criticize someone from the very start.
He [Hovik Abrahamyan] may realize the complexity of the situation,"
said Mr Shirinyan.
Among the priority issues that need to be tackled the analyst
singled out the problems of demography, migration, mine plundering
and corruption.
"If the government does not present a program of radical changes,
these problems cannot be handled," he stressed.
"Of course Armenia is governed by family clans. This is unacceptable
and is not specific to the East," he said.
The political analyst says Tigran Sargsyan resigned under the pressure
of a civil movement which is supported by non-coalition forces.
