February 20, 2014 | 07:36
YEREVAN. – Zhamanak daily spoke with Regional Studies Center Director,
political analyst Richard Giragosian, concerning the events unrolling
in Ukraine. Below is an excerpt from the interview.
“What lessons should Armenialearn [from the events inUkraine]?
“In the case of Armenia, three lessons can be set apart. First,
it is very dangerous to ignore and not pay attention to the demands
for social change and reforms, and to control, instead of governing
the country.
“Second, the old opposition parties have no place any more, and this
needs to be paid attention to.
“Third, we need to understand: Both the West’s and Moscow’s policy
towards Ukraine is unproductive and wrong. Real change cannot
be brought from outside; a real democratic change should be from
withinArmenia.”
