FORMER PRIME MINISTERS RUNNING FOR POWER

The leader of the Marxist Party of Armenia Davit Hakobyan announced
August 9 at the Pastark Club that the opposition of Armenia is not even
worth talking about. The reason is, according to the chief Marxist,
that the opposition is unable to come together but it is also devoid
of an ideology.

"Look at the opposition. Five former prime ministers are running for
power, from Khosrov Harutiunyan to Darbinyan Armen, Vazgen Manukyan,
and so on and so forth. Hence, a question occurs if these people have
been denied by the society, where they are going. It is a revenge,
not more. An opposition is an opposition if it has an alternative
ideology," says Davit Hakobyan.

He reacts similarly to the activity and return of the All-Armenian
Movement, saying that the time of the guys of outdoor meetings
is over. "I think the society is against their entrance into
politics. From today’s Republican Party to the All-Armenian
Movement, all are the same fake democrats, different political
mutations. The same Republicans, the same so-called Liberals, are
all the metamorphoses of the AAM," announces the follower of Marx.

According to him, the moral and political decay of the country has
reached a degree that threatens to demolish Armenians as a nation. In
these circumstances, the Marxist can see a series of new necessities
instead of the old and present forces.

"Today a new ideological change of the generation is necessary, for
the sake of the national and the biological security of the ethnic
gene pool. Second, a new concept of biological security is necessary,
third a new national concept is necessary, fourth, a new agrarian
policy is necessary, sixth, a new right to vote, a universal right
to vote is necessary, and seventh, a new constitution is necessary,"
says Davit Hakobyan.

He states that he does not aspire to being the candidate of the new,
but he assures that Marxism answers all the questions of Armenia.

Davit Hakobyan assures that students are fascinated by Marx’s
"Capital". However, Davit Hakobyan is not hopeful about such frank
devotion. At any rate, he is not convinced that he will conquer the
parliament. He says they will run for parliament alone but even if
they do not gather 5 percent, they will not get depressed because the
mandate is not important for them, it is important to serve the nation.
