REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION EXISTENT IN MINDS OF ARMENIAN PEOPLE
YEREVAN, MARCH 17. ARMINFO. The rotten government system and growing
popular anger in Armenia are giving one grounds for predicting
revolutionary developments in the country, says the first secretary of
the central committee of the Communist Party of Armenia Ruben
Tovmassyan.
At any moment popular anger may go down like a wave on the government
and wipe them off. Those trumpeting April revolution in Armenia are in
fact showing how one should not carry out revolution. The people will
follow the ones who will prove able to lead the country to
reforms. CPA is such a force, the only fundamentally opposition party
in Armenia.
It is very difficult though to form a coalition around CPA as the
government does not scruple to use any means to split the opposition.
Tovmassyan is against the former revolutionary motto – “for solving
one’s people one can cooperate even with the devil.” “Now that
everybody is perverted one cannot say for sure who is the satan of our
days.”
Moldova’s example inspires Tovmassyan. One of the poorest states of
not only Europe but even the CIS since coming under the rule of
Communists three years ago Moldova has made a breakthrough in all
spheres. Its budget has grown from $360 mln to $760 mln, average
salary from $36 to $100, 57 bln lei have been allocated for repaying
former banking deposits to the population.
Tovmassyan is sure that there is no single family in Armenia who would
not dream of restored Socialism opposed today only by those who has
robbed their own people and has locked themselves up in their
palaces. “There is just a step from those palaces to an aluminum plate
in jail,” says Tovmassyan.
