POPULISM OF REPUBLICAN PARTY REACHES RUSSIA
Gazeta.ru, a Russian e-newspaper, published an articled titled,
`Armenians three times more’ which detailed the discussions in the
parliament on dual citizenship.
The newspaper interview Karen Galustyan, vice chairman of the Union of
Armenians in Russia, who raised his surprise at the provision that
people with dual citizenship may vote only on the territory of
Armenia. `To leave for Armenia? What are you speaking about? One
ticket costs $400. Do you think those poor people will leave for
Armenia to vote? It is a fantasy,’ he said. The author of the article
condemns the Armenian Republican Party (HHK) in populism for rapid
adoption of this law. `They will have parliamentary elections in 2007
and presidential elections in 2008,’ the newspaper writes.
Karen Galustyan said, `The rapid adoption of this law is a sign of
populism by the ruling party, Republican party, which wants to show
that it thinks about the Armenian nation and tries to gain more
credits.’
