DIKTAT BY ONE POLITICAL FORCE TORPEDOES DEMOCRATIC PROCESS – NAIRA ZOHRABYAN

13:19 * 14.02.14

One-party political diktat in a country torpedoes any democratic
process, Secretary of the Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group
Naira Zohrabyan told Tet.am as she commented on Prosperous Armenia
Party (PAP) member Vartan Oskanian’s statement on a one-party system
in Armenia.

“Even with great imagination, Oskanian’s words cannot be interpreted
in this way. He only spoke of political monopoly in Armenia,
and Prosperous Armenia is struggling against it. A country with a
political diktat by one political force just torpedoes any democratic
process. Oskanian spoke of that,” Zohrabyan said.

At a Thursday discussion, Oskanian voiced his opinion of Armenia’s
accession to the Customs Union. According to him, the current situation
would be different if a political counterbalance existed in Armenia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
