Sargis Avetisyan: The worst is yet to come
15:23 | February 14,2015 | Politics
The events taking place in Armenia today may lead to the repetition of
the Ukrainian Maidan, Chairman of the "Solidarity" Party Sargis
Avetisyan said on Saturday in connection with the strained relations
between the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) and opposition
Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK).
"We are witnessing the same ignorant talks and casual attitude towards
people. The Maidan events also started from talks when the authorities
offended the opposition using foul language and addressing them by
their nicknames. If talks continue in the same tone, we shall witness
Maidan here, in Armenia," he said.
Sargis Avetisyan did not expect this kind of behavior from the
Republicans and says the worst is yet to come. He sees early elections
as salvation in the given situation.
"Serzh Sargsyan should not listen to his teammates. He is to make the
first step and say that he is ready to resign. The way they are
talking to the opposition today is unacceptable. You cannot rule the
country with threats," he said.
Asked why the Republicans targeted at BHK Leader Gagik Tsarukyan, Mr
Avetisyan said, "Republicans eventually yielded to pressure and came
out against Tsarukyan. They see that 99 percent of people support the
popular movement initiated by the non-governing forces in parliament."
Speaking about the possible return of [Armenia's second President]
Robert Kocharyan, Sargis Avetisyan said, "Why not? Let people who can
take the country of this state run for presidency."
