LOGIC OF FRUIT AND FLOWER REVOLUTION IN ARMENIA

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Mathew Bryza’s announcement
about upward democracy is close to the scenario of fruit and flower
revolutions, told Aram Karapetyan, the leader of the political party
Nor Zhamanakner, to our reporter. “It is very close to what I have
heard in different countries. It is always put like this: a popular
movement is the way to establishing democracy.”
Aram Karapetyan says there are incentives from the outside, small
ones which may grow later. “After all, every such revolution was on
financial assistance, incentives from outside. If anyone insists on
the opposite, it will not be serious.”
Aram Karapetyan believes that the early recall of the
U.S. Ambassador to Armenia implies changes in the policy of the
United States. “Presently, the experience of the United States to
“take Armenia” may have a considerable importance. I think it has
become clear to the Americans that the policy for the South Caucasus
and the Near East becomes difficult without Armenia.
Unfortunately, Russia will also plan its efforts. The Iranians
are ready to take steps,” states Aram Karapetyan. Aram Karapetyan
supposes that the outside incentives for the movement are already
outlining. “Even if they do not recall John Evans, this man known for
his pro-Armenian stance has already received strictures in the press,
as well as in the statements of the U.S. Congress representatives,”
said Aram Karapetyan.
