ANM admits its role in opposition’s activities
Yerkir/arm

Every time when there were talks that the opposition was often
using the advice of the Armenian National Movement (ANM) and thus —
willingly or unwillingly — was implementing that party’s objectives,
both the opposition and the ANM were voicing their objections.
The opposition was looking insulted because its intellectual potential
was underestimated, and the ANM was accusing everybody of seeing it
behind the opposition’s moves.
A few days ago, the ANM disclosed itself: the leaders of the party
admitted that they had given advice — and not only — to the
opposition.
What were the results of such advice in the case of the events of
this spring, or what could the results be, is another story. It is,
however, noteworthy to speak about an accent that this party uses in
its propaganda tactics: ANM claims it is the only alternative to the
present regime.
The formula is this: the current opposition (the Ardarutiun, Gegamian
and the others) is incapable of removing the regime as it has neither
the resolve nor the intellectual potential; the ANM in contrast,
is able to do it. This formula, however, is for the “consumers”
outside Armenia.
This explains the recent activeness of the ANM’s comments on
the former president and things that the latter has said or has
not. Most probably, such activeness will be followed by the campaign
of “reliable information” that the current president will be replaced
with the former one.
