"I want to clarify something once and for all. Hence, I have always
been guided by my own ideas. Whenever I cooperated with one political
force or another, I had only one purpose: to bring into being my own
ideas through the possibilities of that organization," confessed Member
of Parliament Hmayak Hovanisyan, political scientist, September 7 at
the Pakagits Club in connection with the parliamentary election and
in an effort to shut the mouths of people "who are trying to stain
his faultless biography".
And people are trying to stain the "faultless" biography by remembering
and reminding Hmayak that he ran in one parliamentary election on
the ticket of the People’s Party and in the other election on the
ticket of the National Unity Party. And judging by this "consistency",
people are trying to find out which party ticket Hmayak Hovanisyan will
prefer. But before answering this question the political scientist
first states which idea he prefers, by the way, it is his idea about
the underlying necessity to form a political class.
"I’ve told Robert Kocharyan for a number of times, Serge Sargsyan
in 2002, 2001 that I consider forming an effective political
class, political elite in the country to be a priority. Not a
stable-fashion establishment but an effective political class,"
says Hmayak Hovanisyan. He does not approve the forces which become
engaged in politics to guarantee the security of their own capital
and have turned this capital into a political resource. He says he
will meet the force which will set an aim to push forward professional
legislators, professional politicians.
"I know I will be encountering challenges. Yes, I will. I will be
looking through the lists. If I see that one team of another, with me
as one of the coaches, may, in fact, reach that level and represent
those political qualities in the parliament, and if this team considers
me worth, I will think about it," says Hmayak Hovanisyan.
But when someone asked what may happen if no team invites him, Hmayak
Hovanisyan said, "Don’t be so naive."
