Can violence accelerate the movement of regime change? (video)
Opposition slanders the authorities saying that they are standing behind the violence of recent days, “Such slanderers must bear responsibility for unfounded rumors,”- says NA HHK party Deputy Head Gagik Melikyan. Mr. Melikyan is sure that violence doesn’t have political reasons, but the offenders of Serzh Sargsyan must bear responsibility. The violence against freedom fighters and HAK deputy Aram Manukyan must be revealed, or else it frightens republican deputy Hamlet Harutyunyan, “I can be the next and isn’t it shameful at my age to be beaten?” May be Police Head Vladimir Gasparyan will resign for keeping the criminal situation out of control, “Why? Thousands of such cases of hooliganism happen each day.” Hamlet Harutyunyan thinks that this chain of violence isn’t beneficial for the authorities, as in any case they will be suspected. Criminals want to show that there is atmosphere of impunity, “The atmosphere is very punishable, those people must be punished.” BHK party member Gurgen Arsenyan can’t say for sure whether violence is the result of political activities of the beaten people. There is impunity, but it can hardy reach Gurgen Arsenyan, as he lives in a private house, “If such incident happens in the yard of my private house, it must be one of my workers, so how much I must have angered someone.” The deputy thinks that the opposition benefits from these attacks, as violence makes them stronger and weakens the authorities, the organizers of regime change may take advantage of the situation, “If they are able to “manipulate” these events in a right way in order to strengthen the complaint and discontent of society against the authorities.” BHK party member Mikayel Melkumyan can’t say whether violence may accelerate the movement of regime change, he doesn’t want to speak about it, “It is an issue of serious concern what will happen in the near future.”
