In the consecutive publishing of “Aravot”, Aram Abrahamyan writes he agrees there are political persecutions in the country although less in their amount than before. He also agrees that the imposing part of the politicians in the country is corrupt, incompetent of their position and cynical in their behavior. He also states that because of the number of emigration throughout these 20 years has reached the demographics of the country to a dangerous brink. And nonetheless, Abrahamyan believes it is not correct to succumb to temptingly elusive political assessments in the eve of the presidential elections for the following reasons:
1) It is wrong to state we live in a tyranny. In case we did, there would be no possibility for our media, protests in the streets, NA hearings to state an opposite view to the ruling powers. As a comparison Abrahamyan brings Azerbaijan, where neither media not the opposition of the country can oppose the government.
2) We should not state the people in Armenia want to live in a fair, legitimate and democratic country because if they really wanted to, they would eliminate any obstacle by all means to reach their goal. The people here want to live a decent life and have justice on their side only. All they want is finding their place in the incumbent regime and whenever they do not find one, they disagree but do nothing more.
3) The opposition offers alternative to the current political system. An example to this statement is the 20-years-old struggle to reduce the shadow economy, to increase the salaries; however nothing has been achieved so far. Thus, according to Abrahamyan, a conclusion can be deduced that neither the opposition who once was the ruling power of the country and did not manage to do what it tells today to do, nor the incumbent government knows what to do. That’s why they announce politically unstable statements.
