An “oligarchic counter-revolution” took place in Armenia from 2003\u20132005, which can lead to the country’s destruction, said Karabakh Committee member and politician Ashot Manucharyan, while meeting with journalists today. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to him, the country’s entire economy was divided up among the rich, who were viewing the country as a “firma” (company).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It’s despicable that other people in their place would’ve done the same,” he said, adding that a law exists in Armenia which states that an individual involved in the economy (i.e. a businessman) cannot enter into politics; however, people find ways to get around that law, according to Manucharyan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In his opinion, higher-educational institutions, scientists and industry are “special environments,” but “in Armenia, that is purposefully destroyed.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“They see a scientific institution and think, how they can use that building,” he said. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The situation in the country can be overcome by revolution through rebellion and transformation. That, explained Manucharyan, is a process where in order to achieve it, external forces find certain people in the country (presumably, to do their bidding). <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He then asked: does Armenian society want to do that itself or through external forces, emphasizing that Armenia requires a large array of changes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asked what force majeure events are waiting for Armenia, Manucharyan said, “Armenia is in such a state that any change, at any time, is possible.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He also added that, in Armenia, the influence of the West is greater than that of Russia, and Armenian residents must clearly imagine that “we are the owner of our fate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
