What hinders Edmon Marukyan from joining HHK (video)
Support A1+!When becoming a deputy independent deputy Edmon Marukyan didn’t promise his electors that by entering the National Assembly he would demand Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation, “As I have known that it is unrealistic.” Now he is fighting so that the radical opposition leaves the politics and new opposition comes, “All are happy in this system. It means that they can shout every day, they can demand the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan, but when an impeachment project comes, not to vote for the project.” It turns out that the opposition is happy that they are not government, “Yes. As they don’t want to come to power.” Independent deputy thinks that all three Presidents have hindered the formation of opposition in Armenia, and what we have has no connection with political culture, “See, when I was making speech, those, whom I was criticizing, hampered me, in the same way Arakel Movsisyan hampered them. So what is the difference for me?” But the opposition doesn’t threaten the authorities with bloodshed, the authorities threaten with bloodshed if the opposition comes out into the streets. So, mustn’t the head promising bloodshed, leave without elections? “No one must leave without elections, as the next will be worse.” Normal electoral system, normal political powers are needed, which will replace each other without bloodshed. Asked how there could be regime change under the rule of a person, who threatens with bloodshed, Edmon Marukyan answered, “First, I have no information about the threat of bloodshed. Second, no one is speaking of that fact at the moment. Third, I think that there is enough political freedom in Armenia.” What hinders Edmon Marukyan from joining HHK? Edmon Marukyan answers that the fact, that the Republican Party like the opposition is in favor of the Eurasian Economic Union, hinders him. But independent deputy didn’t clarify why four years ago he didn’t join the Republican Party, which led Armenia into the European Association.
