POWER PYRAMID MOVES TOWARD SELF-DESTRUCTION - ARMENIAN OPPOSITION REP
Tert.am

The Armenian police chief's resignation was too late. He is supposed
to be anywhere, but not as holding the post of presidential advisor,
Gurgen Yeghiazaryan, a member of the opposition Armenian National
Congress (ANC), told journalists Nov. 8.
"Alik Sargsyan was a flexible figure and achieved good results in
large-scale money laundering. For three years Margar Ohanyan [ex-chief
of Armenia's traffic police] was engaged in plunder. Did not his boss
see that? And now he is going to Parliament to give good advice?"
Yeghiazaryan said with indignation.
As regards the appointment of Vladimir Gasparyan as chief of Armenia's
police, Yeghiazaryan, who was vice-chief of the National Security
Service, said that, in contrast to Alik Sargsyan, Vladmir Gasparyan
is a professional.
The dismissal of Mikael Minasyan (the Armenian president's son-in-law),
as well as Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan's expected resignation
is "one more bluff."
"In our country, where election results are predetermined just a
few hours before the voting, dismissing the Parliament speaker and
appointing him head of the election campaign office is a ridiculous,"
Yeghiazaryan said.
"This dismissal is President Serzh Sargsyan's attempt to resolve a
problem, namely, clearing the rear," he added.
"The power pyramid has decayed and is moving toward self-destruction,"
he added.
