NO POLITICAL OPPOSITION IN ARMENIA - ASHOT MANUCHARYAN
09:44 * 09.03.15
Public and political figure Ashot Manucharyan commented on the recent
radical changes in Armenia's politics in an interview with Tert.am.
According to him, there is no political opposition in Armenia, and
real opposition is capable of freeing a person of money power.
As regards the "new period" before the 2017 mentioned by the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia's (RPA), Mr Manucharyan said:
"The Republican Party of Armenia members had better speak of something
else - how they are going to stop the country's disintegration,
which they have been doing since coming to power. They must realize
they have no recipe now."
With respect to opposition forces, Mr Manucharyan said:
"There is no political opposition in Armenia as such. Both the
opposition forces are the RPA are advocating money. They are all
destroying Armenia and people."
Asked what processes he expects in the nearest future, Manucharyan said
he pins great hopes on the political forces capable of fighting the
oligarchy. "Intellectuals propose a very elementary solution: they say
all those who back the opposition and want to topple the government,
propose, instead of them, a government with its own program that would
realize the plan," he said, in the meantime stressing the importance
of public trust. "So no need to propose a person who does not enjoy a
public trust; we should propose people who do inspire that trust. Hence
we need to consolidate the people to do that unitedly. This is a real
path where I think people will be predominant. "
Manucharyan added he expects the intellectuals' call to receive
a strong backing by many, including even members of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia. "There is now one way for all people:
it is important to realize that the times for money power are in the
past, that a person making money has to leave politics to do business
but at the same convert all his money into a vehicle. If he or she
turns money into luxury, it's a crime ... Money has to be turned into
a field or factory which will again belong to him or her but people
will work there to take care of their families. If the rich person
does not do that, then he or she is a non-entity, a schitzophreniac
who must be treated. "
