K. Kocharyan: No change of power will occur in Armenia
Saturday,September 20, 2014
The domestic political life in Armenia is laughable: it is impossible
to understand what the political forces demand or want, the political
engineer Karen Kocharyan told reporters today.
As for a change of power, he found it difficult to say whether
something will change in the country after it.
"At the moment I don't see public demand for a change of power. No
change of power will occur in Armenia unless a palace revolution takes
place. A palace revolution is possible today only at the level of some
personal ambitions. No systemic changes will take place in Armenia,"
K. Kocharyan said.
As regards the upcoming joint rally of the four non-government
parliamentary political forces, Karen Kocharyan said confidently that
nothing will come out of it.
"Who must prevent what - Armenian National Congress, Prosperous
Armenia or Heritage Party? This is the reason of an internal struggle
within these parties because some want it, the others don't. So it
turns out that the "four" non-government political forces turned into
two and a half," Kocharyan noted.
Speaking about the ARFD's refusal to participate in the joint rally,
Kocharyan noted that ARF-Dashnaktsutyun has always been an honest
political force because it openly supported the constitutional
reforms.
"ARFD is the only honest political force among the parties. It
withdrew from the ruling coalition because of the Armenian-Turkish
protocols. This issue has been facing the authorities for several
years. I can't say if ARFD will go into a coalition later," the
political engineer said.
In his words, ARFD always supported constitutional reforms and
parliamentary government since it has never had a prominent leader -
"this force is strong thanks to its structures in its format, rather
than its leaders," Kocharyan said.
