"Armenia’s authorities not having any strong opposition in country
managed to reach or will manage to reach the realization of any
program," said at today’s press-conference head of Political
Studies Center Ruben Hakobyan adding that "the opposition became
a support-platform for authorities cause of its controversy and
internal break."

"Coalition is not a political support, it is a serious financial and
administrative platform, not political," he said.

The analyst shared his view that people don’t trust the opposition
as it is full of discord and disagreements inside, and the struggle
for leadership led to the situation when "it’s dangerous to trust
this opposition."

"This is exactly this vote of censure that the authorities make use
of." He believes that it is still possible to prevent the ratification
of Armenian-Turkish protocols.

"The only way to prevent this process is to depose the authorities," he
said adding that Armenian authorities set Armenian-Turkish relations
under pressure. It would be better if they resign under opposition’s
pressure than "sign that humiliating protocol under pressure of
superpowers."
