YEREVAN. – Armenia’s current system is formed by those in the
proportional election lists; they are the protectors of these systems,
opposition member-and former member of the Karabakh Committee-Ashot
Manucharyan said, during a press conference on Thursday, reflecting on
the political parties’ electoral lists for the upcoming parliamentary
elections. He also stressed that the outside world will play a very
big role in these elections.

In Manucharyan’s words, the sad thing is that the people agree
with this game; they deem unjust not the fact that the oligarch is
plundering, but rather why they are not oligarchs instead.

Commenting on the bribe being distributed in the lead-up to
the elections, Ashot Manucharyan noted that bribe is part of the
“election” ritual.

And speaking about the ways out, he stated that the newly-engaged
civil initiatives are the embryos of the new social order.

Ashot Manucharyan is convinced that the pseudo wise men are Armenia’s
first traitors; and the “rich man’s” entry to the tools of power
is the most extreme crime, and, consequently, execution by shooting
needs to be restored for that man.
