Aharon Adibekyan: New alliances have no chances (video)
In China, if you want to curse someone, you just say, “May the coming year be a year of changes, because changes are not always positive,” sociologist Aharon Adibekyan said on December 27. “We are witnessing changes, reunions and layoffs during the new Prime Minister’s tenure of office. Someone finds something, another loses something, but it is wrong to sit and wait that the prime minister will assume the role of Moses. Everyone should do his work,” he said. The sociologist says 2016 was a negative year for all countries. The deterioration of relations between the EU and Russia deepened poverty in a number of countries. “If we assess the indicators of our country by the UN standards, we can say that 50 percent of population is poor though only 20 percent admits the fact. Those are people who go to bed hungry,” Mr. Adibekyan said. Speaking about the upcoming parliamentary elections, the sociologist said all seats at the theatre are occupied, with the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) sitting in the stalls. In response to A1+’s question about the chances of the newly formed alliances, the sociologist said ‘one cannot achieve success adding 0 to 0.’ "If the Armenian Revolutionary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun unites with the Armenian National Congress (HAK), it will be a serious alliance, but when newly-formed parties that do not have resources unite, they cannot have power.”
