After the shooting of oppositionists on Mar 1 2008, those in power
realized that it would be hard for them to keep power in their hands,
so, they decided to organize constitutional reforms so as to cancel
the post of president and to get power in some other way, Director
of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies Manvel
Sargsyan told ArmInfo on Monday.
"The Republicans welcomed that idea as they saw that it was a chance
for them to keep things the way they were. But some of them raised
a cry. When appointed as Prime Minister, Hovik Abrahamyan imagined
that things had changed for him. He convoked all owners and offered
them new rules. He urged them to pay on an equal basis. But when
the owners replied, 'Pay yourself first and then we'll also do,'
Abrahamyan realized that he was nobody. He hoped to put his hand on
everything but the system went off otherwise. It was then that those
in power realized that there is no use in changes as they can swap
people inside without changing anything in the system," Sargsyan said.
