“This dialogue is like chitchat”
Political scientist Andranik Tevanyan finds that the HAK-authorities dialogue hasn't been frozen and is continuing behind the curtain.
"We saw the first behind the curtain dialogue when the HAK supported Serzh Sargsyan so that he would be able to sign a new ruling coalition memorandum. Then, what happened was a process that took place in the summer and favored the sides," the political scientist told "A1+".
According to him, neither the HAK nor the authorities has anything to say and they now have a coarse rhetoric.
"In reality, it is clear that all the political forces are preparing for the subsequent elections. There are forces that are deceiving their electorates, and there are forces that are passive. I can say that Serzh Sargsyan's and Levon Ter-Petrosyan's circles have elements of chaos and uncertainty since the two are slaves of the contradictions between what they say and what they do."
Andranik Tevanyan doesn't see the possibility of snap elections in Armenia. "This dialogue that we witnessed was like chitchat. It favored Serzh Sargsyan, but now he is in favor of freezing the dialogue."
Does putting the dialogue on hold favor the HAK? In response, the political scientist said:
"The HAK has set the objective to pick up the pieces and make it to the parliamentary elections. For that it can use coarse rhetoric and revolutionary calls, but nothing will really change. Serzh Sargsyan's and Levon Ter-Petrosyan's teams have already done everything and now favor each other."
The political scientist says there will be reclassification of forces in Armenia starting in September. "In the end, it will become clear that we are seeing a force with two heads, that is, Serzh Sargsyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan."
Do you see a third head, for instance, Robert Kocharyan? How would you explain his active efforts? In response, Andranik Tevanyan said: "Nobody can see Robert Kocharyan's active role yet. If there are humiliating developments taking place in the country, the economy is worsening and on the background of failed foreign policy, any figure can become active, including Robert Kocharyan. As to how the society will react to that, we will see that in the months ahead. May will come soon and we can say that the campaign has already launched."
