IN WORDS OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY REPRESENTATIVE, WOMEN MUST SUBJECT
POLITICAL PROCESSES TO QUALITATIVE CHANGES
YEREVAN, APRIL 2, NOYAN TAPAN. Women in Armenia must strive for
accepting posts both in legislative and in executive power to correct
faults of work of man politicians. Heghine Bisharian, the Deputy
Chairwoman of the "Orinats Yerkir" (Country of Law) party (OYP),
nominated as a deputy’s candidate at district electoral commission
No11 (Shengavit-Erebuni) by the majoritarian electoral system,
expressed such an opinion at the April 2 debate. In her words, today
women meet obstacles during their political activity just for the
reason that they are representatives of the fair sex. For example, in
H. Bisharian’s words, corresponding bodies of the community of
Shengavit first of all for that reason do not allow to fasten her
pre-electoral posters in places envisaged for them, and then for the
reason that she is a representative of an opposing party.
Another participant of the debate, Karine Hakobian, a member of the
Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), former Deputy Minister of Labour
and Social Issues, at present occupying the third horizontal of the
DPA proportional electoral list, mentioned that women must subject the
political processes to a qualitative change. In her words, though
women really have much to do in the political sphere, but their
striving for creating political biography must not be an end in
itself. In K. Hakobian’s words, if women enter the parliament in the
way as the men do, that’s, owing to falsifications, nothing will
change to better.
