    ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES TO EITHER BUILD NEW OPPOSITION OR SUPPRESS DISCONTENT - EXPERT

    YEREVAN, March 10. /ARKA/. The Armenian authorities will either bring
    about a new opposition or will be suppressing the opposition field to
    handle protests in the society, information security expert Tigran
    Kocharyan said in a live broadcast on Sputnik-Armenia, as cited by
    Novosti-Armenia.

    Armenia's internal political situation has changed substantially over
    the last month. On March 5, head of the second biggest political party,
    Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), tycoon Gagik Tsarukian resigned. New
    PAP leader Naira Zohrabyan said the party moved into opposition.

    "The problem is that the biggest opposition force has been destroyed,
    but the discontented people are still there. What to do with these
    people, who, according to some data, are 70% today, how to control
    them?" Kocharyan said. This will be a challenge for the authorities
    as there is no opposition, he said.

    According to the expert, there may be two scenarios, first, a new
    opposition will be quickly built up headed either by parliament deputy
    from the Armenian National Congress Nikol Pashinyan or by member of
    Heritage Party Zaruhi Postanjyan.

    The second way is to simply suppress the opposition field, Kocharyan
    said.

    "Total destruction of the PAP was like the destruction of the Huguenots
    overnight in France", Kocharyan said.

    All the resources of the Prosperous Armenia, including websites,
    TV, facebook users, fakes, were found to be unable to resist the
    government attacks, he said.

    It was the right decision to strike the first blow against the party
    leader, as PAP could not settle anything without Gagik Tsarukian,
    the expert said. -0--
