Nov 21 2006
The leader of the Society of Political Scientists Hmayak Hovanisyan
presented November 21 at the Pastark club the possible ideological
alliances in the opposition, which are essential to the political
success of the parliamentary election in 2007 against the non-political
plans of the government.
As a possible alliance, Hmayak Hovanisyan pointed to the partnership
of Arthur Baghdasaryan, Raffi Hovanisyan and Vazgen Manukyan. Hmayak
gave a conventional title to it – Euro-Atlantic Alliance. The other
alliance envisaged by Hmayak Hovanisyan is conventionally entitled
Angloamerican or Atlantic. According to the leader of the Society
of Political Scientists, it would include the All-Armenian Movement,
the Alternative, Hovanes Hovanisyan and Aram Zaveni Sargsyan.
In the alliance of the pro-CIS forces, the supporters of an integrated
post-Soviet economic space, a ruble zone he includes Stepan Demirchyan,
Artashes Geghamyan, the Constitutional Right Union. Hmayak Hovanisyan
refers to Samvel Babayan as the nationalist pole. According to
Hmayak Hovanisyan, time will show who will join him. The political
scientist says as far as he can see, Sambel Babayan will run in
the election alone. And Hmayak considers him as a nationalist pole
because he thinks that Babayan is for settling the Karabakh issue by
the smallest possible compromise. At the same time, he relies on the
support of Europe.
"France, Russia, Iran. There are shared interests. In other words,
an alliance of supporters of the Indoeuropean civilizations may emerge.
I think he will go alone, but life will show who will join him,"
Hmayak Hovanisyan says.
According to Hmayak Hovanisyan, Aram Karapetyan can represent the
absolutely pro-Russian pole. He thinks life will show who his possible
allies will be. Hmayak Hovanisyan believes that if pro-geopolitical
alliances emerge, the international community will grow more interested
in holding a fair election in Armenia.
