Several months ago the United States started transformation processes
in Armenia by the method of Madeleine Albright, one of the US
Secretaries of State, Ashot Manucharyan, member of Karabakh Committee,
told journalists on Thursday.
“Washington has launched quite a big number of Armenian politicians in
these transformation processes, thereby expanding the processes
ongoing between the authorities and the opposition. First and
foremost, the matter concerns the people inside the power, who long
for changes but are afraid of what these change may result in. The
given processes imply changes without special shocks, nevertheless,
they present the whole palette of changes”, said the politician.
Manucharyan thinks that the USA exerts pressure on the authorities and
demand that the authorities should give up repressions and the
opposition should give up the idea to change the power by forced
methods. The transformation processes do not envisage a revolution in
Armenia, but achievement of changes by means of mild processes. Thus,
on the one hand, the USA is striving to take Armenia under control,
which, on the other hand, would better comply with the new realities
in the world.
“As a result of these transformation processes, today in Armenia we
have the resigned all-powerful Yerevan mayor, the arrested policeman
and, which is the most important, again opened “1 March case”, which
is fantastic. Just these facts are the levers for implementation of
the transformation processes initiated by the USA. As a result, we see
the partly paralyzed authorities, which have absolutely forgotten what
are repressions, and the fact that Armenian National Congress stepped
back from its non-compromise and revolutionary pose. But there is
still no dialogue between them, but the USA will soon become the
initiator of this dialogue. Thus, what is taking place in Armenia is
reminding of the situation in the neighboring Georgia several years
ago. The Georgians really managed to improve their life gaining at
least some democracy, but at the same time they finally lost Abkhazia
and South Ossetia. As for the losses in Armenia, only God and the USA
know what losses in Armenia the transformation activity of Washington
will result in “, – he concluded.
