I WOULDN’T PREFER UKRAINE SCENARIO IN ARMENIA – POLITICIAN
13:01 * 05.03.14
An Armenian opposition politician said Wednesday that he wouldn’t
prefer the heated developments in Ukraine to have their repetition
in Armenia.
Addressing the political crisis in the country, the opposition
Heritage party’s political secretary, Stepan Safaryan, said though
he very much wishes drastic changes, he wouldn’t like to see a coup
d’etat similar to that in Ukraine in the country.
“It is just important to state that there was almost nothing to
demolish in Ukraine, as the country had gone into a state of bankruptcy
under [President Victor] Yanukovich. As for the new government, they
acceded to power due to Yanukovich’s awkwardness,” he told reporters.
The politician said he thinks that Ukraine and the Ukrainian people
have thus been granted the right to change their own lives, despite
the existing challenges to the country’s government. According to him,
the current developments now show a sign of weakening tensions.
“Their society too, expects reforms through undermining the
government. In Armenia, we have opposition forces that collaborate
with one another, but three of the four share a different position
on foreign policy issues,” he said, adding that he doesn’t think the
Armenian opposition has been ever against the Eurasian partnership.
