“Lists mislead the voters” (video)
“There would be generation change in the authorities in Armenia only in case when the authorities decide to change logic of the country’s government,” political expert Armen Baghdasaryan told the journalists. He says that if everything remains unchanged, there is no meaning in bringing new people. Touching upon parties and alliances, the political analyst expressed his concerns. He says that they mislead the voters, “First 10-20 people of the list of the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) are normal people, aren’t they? But the Electoral Code states that Arakel Movsisyan, who is on the 160th place, has greater chances to appear in the parliament than the person on the 20th place. Can you feel deception? Or the list of Armenian National Congress (HAK). It is obvious that Levon Ter-Petrosyan will not go to the NA, will not hold a mandate.” The NA former Vice Speaker, former member of HHSh Board Karapet Rubinyan noted that the changes promised by the authorities are simply for misleading the society, “The majority of the persons acting weren’t simply aware of the intentions of the arbiter. Members of the leading party were approaching the oppositionists and asked about the intentions of Serzh Sargsyan. That’s why at first there was big mess,” he noted. Political expert Hakob Badalyan added that there will be no generation change inside the authorities as long as there is no fight between generations inside the parties, “If new generation comes, it comes to defend their fathers, continue their line.” According to the words of political expert Armen Baghdasaryan, the role of force structures will be increased during these elections, “For example, the police. They will be directed the places, where they can see danger. We can already feel it. For example, Oskanian’s son has been suddenly detained for locking someone in the car and threatening him to cut off his ears. Can you image that all the persons raising such threats were detained in Armenia?”
