YEREVAN, MARCH 30, NOYAN TAPAN. The untimely death of RA Prime Minister
Andranik Margarian will strengthen for even more the influence of
foreign forces on Armenian authorities, which "will finally turn
into an instrument in the hands of both the West and Russia." The
last circumstance is fraught with extremely negative consequences for
the country. Garnik Margarian, Chairman of Homeland and Honor Party,
stated this in his interview to Noyan Tapan.
In his words, "after the death of A. Margarian who was the only person
from Armenia in the highest echelon of power, in people’s consciousness
the Karabakh clan finally seized the power in the country." Garnik
Margarian said that this circumstance can increase the precipice
between the people and the authorities for even more, the authorities
will hardly manage to get over the increasing distrust to them in the
society. "The hatred for the authorities existing among the people
cannot be restrained long, it can result in uncontrolled processes,
and the authorities should first of all think about it and not about
their posts," he stated.
As G. Margarian forecast, it cannot be excluded that the
situation within the Republican Party of Armenia itself can become
complicated. "Andranik Margarian was a buffer not only within
the power, but also within the RPA itself, as he smoothed over
contradictions both in the power and in his party," he stated.
