YEREVAN, DECEMBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN. On the threshold of the 2007
parliamentary elections the Armenian people has appeared in a spiritual
crisis. Alvard Petrosian, RA National Assembly ARFD faction member,
expressed such opinion at the December 27 press conference. In her
words, all elections in Armenia are turned into "small civil wars,"
as "an argument" starts among separate districts, yards, neighbors and
relatives. After the elections, according to A.Petrosian’s observation,
"seeing that they again failed" everybody conciliate again. Touching
upon the subject of electoral bribe, the MP said that various political
unions put the people in the position of a beggar. In A.Petrosian’s
words, charity has become vulgar in Armenia. In general she estimated
the situation as "social Darwinism." "When someone does something
he drums about it like a monkey," A.Petrosian said. He advised the
people to cast doubt on politicians’ preelection promises and charity
so as not to be deceived in the future.
