HHK’s demand from BHK is "boyish”
Politologist Ruben Hakobyan says the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs' visit to the region on October 21-22 is another visit to keep the pace of the negotiations process.
"I don't think the visit will help solve any radical issue," Hakobyan told "A1+".
Hakobyan doesn't share the view that Russia has ceded its position to France in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement due to the upcoming presidential elections in that country.
Hakobyan finds that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be speculated during the upcoming nationwide elections in Armenia and will be compared to the amount of electoral falsifications. "In all times, there has been a group of "people loving stability". After the creation of instability, they prove to the people that the instability is due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. The Artsakh issue will definitely be speculated for the next two years. The issue turns into a "hostage" every time the elections are falsified."
Touching upon Armenia's interior political situation, particularly the relations between the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) and Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), Hakobyan noted that it is not part of the political field. "The HHK says how a party can breach the coalition memorandum, which establishes that the parties will participate in the elections together and endorse the Republican Party's candidate. The Republicans don't take into account that this is not a political evaluation, but a "boyish" evaluation and it's about keeping the word. It has nothing to do with politics. In that case, the Armenian society can ask those people why they aren't keeping their word of bringing the people out of the current situation, as stated in the coalition memorandum."
The politologist says the relations between the HHK and the BHK will intensify.
In any case, the participation of different poles in the elections will contribute to the level of democracy in the country.
