VAZGEN MANUKIAN: SERGE SARGSIAN’S JOINING RPA ENDANGERS NAGORNO KARABAKH PROBLEM
YEREVAN, JULY 18, NOYAN TAPAN. RA Defence Minister Serge Sargsian’s
joining the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) can result in power
monopolization. RA MP Vazgen Manukian, Chairman of the National
Democratic Union, expressed such a concern at the July 18 press
conference.
According to him, they can dispute around the issue, whether the
Defence Minister should belong to any party or not, but this issue is
secondary. Vazgen Manukian said that 40 thousand soldiers serving
in the army have always voted for the person they were dictated
from above.
According to the NDU Chairman, today the Armenian economy is
absolutely monopolized and is controlled by the authorities. It is
known, he mentioned, that Serge Sargsian controls not over the army,
but also the most part of economic and financial flows. Joining
Andranik Margarian’s party that controls the rest of the economy, he
will create a party, which controls the whole economy. As a result,
a one-party system, a monopoly power will be formed in the country
that will continue to keep economy monopolized.
According to Vazgen Manukian, the Soviet Union’s experience shows
that state control over economy results in a collapse. The NDU
Chairman also gave assurance that this situation can endanger not
only the issue of Armenian people’s prosperity, but also the Nagorno
Karabakh problem, and no matter what the above mentioned political
figures declare, they work to the detriment of Nagorno Karabakh.
