HAK has Lost the People’s Trust: Manucharyan

There won’t be a drastic change in the life of Armenia in the near future, said member of the now-defunct Karabakh Committee Ashot Manucharyan, speaking to journalists in the Armenian capital today.

“In the near future a fundamental issue has to be decided: will the [political] confrontation in Armenia worsen or not? Armenia is moving toward such a deep impasse that it simply won’t allow another path for itself. HAK [the Armenian National Congress], through its activities, basically has lost the confidence of the people… with it, losing the possibilities and meanings of dialogue, because the dialogue could’ve been based on the will of the people alone. The only system that is outside a distorted world system is the system of rebellious people,”  he said.

Manucharyan said that if such an uprising could control a force or political entity that has overcome its “distortedness” then in that case Armenia will find itself again.

“There are three main forces currently at work in Armenia which are connected to the three individuals who assumed the position of president. The activities of those three forces are Armenia’s main functions. Outside of these there are small groups which in no way are developing as independence forces,” he said.
