A PERSON ABANDONING A POLITICAL PARTY WILL ABANDON A STATE

The leader of the National Self-Determination Union Paruir Hayrikyan
thinks that the secession of the Orinats Yerkir Party from the
coalition and resignation of some members of parliament from the
Orinats Yerkir faction was not strange; moreover, it was predictable
and expected: “each party determines its place.”
On May 24 the leader of the NSDU said he could discern other dangers
behind the recent developments. “The strange thing about it is that
the members abandoned the political party, and the society considers
it a regular thing. Nobody fears that this departure, denial, desertion
is something that should be criticized.”
Whereas this is dangerous for the nation, because “the political
parties are proto-states, a party affiliate is supposed to have an
orientation, and if a person easily deserts the political party, the
same person may easily desert the state.” It is a serious concern and
alarm for the NSDU. “The so-called political parties apparently do
not exist. These are balloons, as people say,” notes Paruir Hayrikyan
and forecasts that if the Republican Party quit power, “a much worse
thing would be awaiting it.”
“If there are no political parties, but certain groups of people take
part in the life of our state under the label of political parties, who
is then leading life of our state? What can be awaiting a nation, whose
political will is accompanied by such disgraceful behavCors?” alarms
the leader of the NSDU.
