Shavarsh Kocharyan announced this on April 6 at the National Press
Club. However, his statement does not imply that what we have is
democracy. Shavarsh Kocharyan mentions, however, that Armenia appeared
at the border of democracy and dictatorship and has to decide to take
a step in a direction. “Armenia is in an ambiguous situation. Armenia
is not a country of Lukashenko, or a country of Nazarbaev. The former
Soviet republics are divided into two groups: countries in group one,
such as the Baltic states, chose democracy, and Ukraine made a serious
bid to join them. Georgia needs to prove, but it has already made a
bid. I would not like to speak about the other type of countries. For
Armenia, it is facing a choice,” says Shavarsh Kocharyan.
