YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Today a great number of Armenian
young people take part in country’s political life, but not proceeding
from their political views, but "due to pursuing career or material
interests." Hayk Asatrian, Chairman of ARFD Nikol Aghbalian youth
union, gave assurance at the February 7 dispute of young political
figures. Narek Galstian, Chairman of Sargis Tkhruni student youth
union of Social-Democrat Hnchakian party, stated that personally he
knows a number of young people who personally took part in falsifying
the previous elections. In his words, it has become "fashionable"
to "become the derivative of deans at universities, to reach 4th
year without any knowledge, then to join various "bazes" for wearing
an expensive suit in the future." Adrine Avagian, head of National
Democratic Union’s youth wing, said that currently the political field
is distorted and the Armenian youth is also to blame for this. Touching
upon the forthcoming elections, the dispute participants said that
in all probability, they will be falsified. "From one election to
another falsifications become bigger and bigger in Armenia and we have
no expectations from these illegitimate authorities," A.Avagian said.
