"I think the government has the illusion that it can lead the country
with such methods as force, repression", said the member of the
Heritage faction Larisa Alaverdyan dwelling on the assessment of
democratic situation in Armenia by the Freedom House Organization.
Larisa Alaverdyan said the administrative system has rich ways but
the current government chooses the most primitive one which is not
post-Soviet but even rougher. She says that the current government
has to refuse the traditions left by the previous one to improve the
situation otherwise the country will become uncontrollable.
In this connection, reporters asked Alaverdyan whether she thinks
Serge Sargsyan has wish to carry out democratic reforms but does not
make them feeling some danger. She said sure that the lack of wish is
partially determined by this fact. She recalled that all our political
figures became such ones during the Soviet period and the methods
they saw move them in a certain direction to use certain methods. She
said sure that it is a socio-psychological problem. Alaverdyan is sure
that there are people who think normally in the country who can show
the way of passing from autocratic methods to democratic ones. She
noted that she has not ever noticed that Serge Sargsyan bears these
new traditions.
