EFFECT OF CREATING UNOPEN MAN…
Today a discussion took place on `Prerequisites of
structuring political elite and their perspectives in
Armenia’ subject in the Press National Club. `Elite in
Armenia is in the process of degradation,’ said Larisa
Alaverdyan, NA deputy and member of `Heritage’ group.
According to her the political elite is unaware of its
doings most of the time. `And, I guess, that the
reason is not having free and open person. We have not
filled that gap and all the obstacles are the effects
of creating unopen man,’ she said.
NA deputy and ARF member Alvard Petrosyan said that it
is natural as a nation living in the Soviet Union can
not be free and democratic at once. `I do not believe
in it. How have we become a democratic after the total
regime?’ she said.
`Today they talk about civil society, but we can not
create a democratic society as people should create
it,’ said A. Petrosyan.
Heghine Bisharyan, NA deputy and `Country of Laws’
party member said that the political elite should be
of principle and moral image. `Ideology has lost its
value anymore. There are more than hundred parties but
they spread opinions and not ideologies,’ she said.
According to Ruzan Khachatryan, member of People’s
Party of Armenia, the political elite is mechanical.
She said that unless the elections lack democratic
principles, political elite won’t be established.
