INTERNAL CHALLENGES DEEMED AS THE PRINCIPAL CHALLENGES OF ARMENIA
SHAVARSH KOCHARYAN, Head of the National Democratic Party (NDP), was yesterday’s guest speaker of “Pakagits” (bracket) club
Although the press-conference was originally devoted to the discussion of the “External Challenges”, all the questions arousing interest among the journalists concerned the internal political issues. Especially when, after enumerating and attaching importance to different challenges threatening our country, the NDP leader finished his introductory speech with the following conclusion, “Speaking about all kinds of external challenges, we must clearly realize that Armenia’s principal challenge is currently the internal challenge.”
Sh. Kocharyan regretted to state that having chosen the path of European integration, our country, is, along with Russia and Azerbaijan, among the few states whose compliance with their commitments is estimated as imitative and not real. “At this point, we are facing a problem too, because if your country has become a member of some international structure and undertaken commitments, it is obliged to comply with them.
And that implies that the governance system inside the country should be effective enough to solve the problems which constantly demand a solution. On the one hand, you are required to establish stability in you country, and on the other hand, you should never cross the limits which are not characteristic of a democratic country,” Sh. Kocharyan announced.
Distinguishing the activities of the radical opposition as one of the “internal challenges”, the speaker noted that the forces supporting L. Ter-Petrosyan crossed the permitted limits, by implementing the tactics of struggle they had chosen themselves. “I have said, and I repeat that no development is possible without an internal political struggle. But anyway, it is necessary for an internal political struggle to have a certain threshold which should never be crossed.
In my estimation, the part of the opposition supporting ex-President L. Ter-Petrosyan during the last presidential elections did cross that threshold.”
Touching upon the efforts of the leader of “Heritage” party to organize a dialogue between the country’s president and Mr. Ter-Petrosyan, Sh. Kocharyan expressed surprise, “As regards the dialogue, it is a little bit unclear to me why Raffi Hovhannisyan acts as a mediator. He supported L. Ter-Petrosyan, didn’t he? So why doesn’t he have that dialogue himself? It isn’t as if former Prime Minister and new President Serge Sargsyan had announced that he was ready for a dialogue. Well, if you represent a political party which is the only pro-opposition faction in the Parliament, just announce that you are ready for a dialogue. I am already unable to understand that.” And the speaker again expressed hesitation, “If two individuals really desire to talk to each other, is there any need for a mediator?”
