Interesting political situation in Armenia – Artur Sakunts
12:01 * 22.02.15
There is no politics in Armenia, which is a fact obvious to the pubic
now, human rights activist Artur Sakunts told Tert.am.
However, new forces will fill the opposition niche.
“There was no politics. The essence of politics has now become
obvious, and few people have said it is a criminal and oligarchic
system,” Mr Sakunts said.
Some sections of Armenia’s population trusted the alternative
Prosperous Armenia party, but they encountered misunderstanding
because of lack of awareness.
“But you cannot buy everything. You can buy once or twice, but you
cannot conceal the truth all the time,” Mr Sakunts said.
According to him, an interesting political situation has developed.
“In fact, the so-called political system has put itself in a marginal
situation, that is, above the law, and the present task is forming
political structures within the law.”
Asked about disappointment, Mr Sakunts said:
“Of course, the people who hoped to get access to sinecure due to
prosperous Armenia party were disappointed. But the reasonable
sections of society that did not hold any expectations about the
corrupt system. On the contrary, they have come to realize that it is
time to act.”
