Confrontation or concession?
Political scientists Alexander Margarov and Ervand Bozoyan today debated over the variance between the Republican (HHK) and Prosperous Armenia (BHK) parties.
"If the BHK wants to act as a separate political force, it must either seek variance with the HHK or make concessions," said Alexander Margarov.
Ervand Bozoyan shared his opinion saying the political pyramid built by the HHK conflicts with the interests of Coalition forces. Anyway, the political scientist does not take intra-party and inter-party conflicts seriously, as they are conventional and temporary.
"Republican is a bureaucratic party typical of all transitional countries," he said.
"Any Republican businessman will quit the party as soon as he is relieved of his post and will declare that Armenia has a long way to democracy. As long as he has a post, he will say the country is thriving."
Alexander Margarov doubts that the BHK, Heritage, ARF-Dashnaktsutyun will unite in the next parliamentary elections as an alternative force to the HHK. At the same time, he does not exclude that a new political force may appear in the political domain.
Ervand Bozoyan says the next parliament will be represented by HHK, BHK, ARF-Dashnaktsutyun and Armenian National Congress.
