In the Republic of Armenia today, there remain only three political bodies: Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), Prosperous Armenia (PHK) and Armenian National Congress (HAK). There’s no Rule of Law (Orinats Yerkir, OEK), nor Heritage, said PR Company President Armen Badalyan at a press conference today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to him, it’s those three political groups that will be represented in the next parliament; in HAK’s case, the issue will be a little different, he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“If HAK can find a common ground with the Kremlin, then it’ll have seats in parliament. However, let me note, if these three groups can’t satisfy the Kremlin, the latter will create a fourth power, which is not a very complicated task,” said Badalyan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asked by Epress.am what such predictions are based on, when at the last HAK rally, HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan spoke only of extraordinary parliamentary elections, Badalyan said:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“They can say one thing, but the situation today is completely different. Today this area has turned into a Russian administrative territorial unit: whether you like it or not, you have to find common ground with Russia, since Europe, except for monitoring, isn’t involved in anything, while the US has other problems.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Badalyan claims that, in Armenia, there are only two political faces: Gagik Tsarukyan (leader of Prosperous Armenia party and notorious local businessman) and Levon Ter-Petrosyan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“There’s no Artur Baghdasaryan, who ceased being a leader, when after March 1 (2008), he went on the path of the ruling elite, while, for example, Raffi Hovannisian generally isn’t there, he doesn’t have an electorate. Where have you seen him? There’s a Heritage Party and a few MPs,” added Badalyan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
