YEREVAN, August 22. /ARKA/. The current political situation in Armenia faces a genre crisis, sad Shavarsh Kocharian, Leader of the National Democratic Party (NDP).
He believes the reason for the crisis is that means and goals have changed their places.
“It is known that power is only a means of implementing programs and ideas, whereas for our authorities, power is an end in itself,” Kocharian said.
According to him, the situation is the same both in the coalition and opposition camps, as the coalition by all means tries to hold power, while the opposition tries to assume it.
“As a result, programs and ideas stay in the background and become inaccessible to the public which does not see any difference between the programs and ideas of the coalition and opposition,” he said.
According to Kocharian, this is the reason why the layers of the society cannot see any alternative to the current authorities. This creates an atmosphere of distrust and ignorance to the political processes in the country, he said.
Kocharian is apt to think that Armenia’s political machinery opposes to people.
As a result, a new kind of pragmatism has become apparent: private interests, which have nothing to do with public interests, are gaining ground. Z. Sh. –0--
