CONSOLIDATION OF OPPOSITION NOT NEEDED IN ARMENIA, POLITICAL TECHNOLOGIST SAYS
YEREVAN, March 9. /ARKA/. There is no need for political reshuffling
and consolidation of the opposition in Armenia right now, expert on
political and election technologies Armen Badalyan said in a live
Sputnik-Armenia broadcast, as quoted by Novosti-Armenia.
Opposition is formed when the society is interested in consolidating
efforts to protect its interests, the way it happened the Karabakh
movement occurred at the end of the 80ies, Badalyan said.
The expert has not ruled out the authorities may create a pro-western
pseudo-opposition. Similar attempts were made in many countries,
but it has been always a "pocket" opposition, he said.
In speaking about the upcoming elections Badalyan said there are two
kinds of voters in Armenia - 90% vote because of financial reward
and only 10% of voters have political reasons motives.
Even if consolidated, this 10% will hardly achieve major success in
the election, the expert said. -0--
