If Comrade Tovmasyan speaks
"The Communist Party of Armenia has yet to become the ruling party in Armenia," leader of the Communist Party of Armenia, Comrade Ruben Tovmasyan told "A1+". He says that he is waiting for that moment every minute of every day and is sure that it has yet to come.
"I see our return when the people finally mature, so that they won't misunderstand things come election time. We have so many advantages," said Tovmasyan.
Although Tovmasyan doesn't consider himself Nostradamus, he is confident that his party's ideology will live on.
The Communist Party of Armenia has only 2,000 members, but Comrade Tovmasyan has no complaints.
"It's normal. The most important thing is that we have our regional organizations in all regions of Armenia."
The Communist Party leader is not concerned over the fact that there are few young members.
"The youth have so many things on their minds that the last thing they can think about is ideology. Boys want to buy flowers for their girlfriends, the girls want to buy presents for their boyfriends and so on. If I were given a chance to speak to them on television, they would see how their fathers and ancestors used to live and how they are living. They don't know anything nowadays."
When we reminded Comrade Tovmasyan the example of Moldova when the Communists lost, he said:
"The example of Moldova showed once again the democratic attitude of the Communist. They weren't able to solve the issue of the president through one voice and they held a second round of elections. Nobody was arrested and nobody was killed. This was the advantage of the Communists."
