Authorities will not show resistance if issues intersect
Support A1+!Assaults, beatings, ballot stuffing and figure drawing accompanied the Armenian presidential elections held in Armenia last year as a result of which Serzh Sargsyan came to replace Robert Kocharyan as president.
"A year ago, the current administration tried to buy votes and that goes to show the disrespect towards the people. But the Armenian people don't like those who disrespect them and won't accept the results of the elections no matter the time," told "A1+" leader of the "Republic" party Aram Sargsyan.
According to him, during the past year the authorities "have not taken any steps to raise the lost reputation".
Aram Sargsyan recalls the existence of political prisoners, the socio-economic situation and the moral/psychological state, which has gotten worse.
"The authorities have only suffered losses. The opposition has formed a body called the Armenian National Congress, which is a clear alternative to the authorities. The different groups and factions within the congress remind you of a shady cabinet the members of which are ready to be more useful for Armenia and Karabaj than the current authorities. This alternative has instilled hope in the people and will carry out its actions," promised Aram Sargsyan.
According to him, the opposition is much more pro-government than the authorities whose only job is to keep all that they have, even if it means throwing down the reputation of the country.
Aram Sargsyan notes that in normal, democratic countries, government changes through elections, but in countries like Armenia government may change at any given time and in any given situation.
"That may happen due to the absence of democratic principles, the situation of the people, complex foreign policy issues. I don't exclude that soon these three issues will intersect and in that case no government will be able to show resistance, especially this government," says Sargsyan.
