YEREVAN, MARCH 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian public has never been so
much humiliated and so much unprotected, as solutions and decisions
are thrusted upon it in country’s foreign and home political
spheres. Lyudmila Haroutiunian, Chairwoman of Arzhanapatvutiun
(Dignity) Party, expressed such an opinion at the March 7 press
conference. As L. Haroutiunian estimated, the power is not changed
in Armenia of people’s own free will, it is reproduced by the
very power. In her words, no free and transparent elections will
be held in Armenia until the Armenian public becomes honorable and
the latter’s subordination to force, money and other circumstances
is liquidated. "Today’s split of political forces, the fact that the
opposition failed to consolidate speaks about the state of the Armenian
public," the Chairwoman of the Arzhanapatvutiun Party said. In the
words of RA MP, member of RPA Board Hermine Naghdalian, holding of
free and fair elections is possible in the country if every one takes
his vote under his care and takes part in the elections. In her words,
the country’s development in the coming years depends on the upcoming
parliamentary elections. H. Naghdalian is convinced that like many
countries Armenia can also efficiently pass the way of democratization,
as from one election to another not only those being elected but
also electors change. In the opinion of member of PPA Political
Board Ruzan Khachatrian, "if the figures changed from one election
to another, today we would have a little more democratic, free and
safe country." In her words, unless the forthcoming parliamentary
elections are held well and if a negative estimation is formed,
the country will appear in much more complicated situation."
