    IF OPPOSITION LEFT THE COUNTRY
    HAKOB BADALYAN

    Story from Lragir.am News:
    http://www.lragir.am/engsrc/comments25538.html
    Published: 10:40:08 - 22/03/2012

    After the disclosure of the party list of the Heritage Party, Karine
    Hakobyan, Heritage board member, voiced dissatisfaction with the list,
    and the formation mode saying it was formed in compliance with the
    wish of a couple of people. Karine Hakobyan said about her intention
    to leave the party.

    In order to clarify whether Karine Hakobyan's discontent is justified,
    and whether her accusation is right it is necessary to study all the
    details. Though, even in this case, the Heritage representatives will
    keep stating that everything was right, and Karine Hakobyan and others
    will oppose that democratic principles were violated.

    In this case, however, another issue is outlining. In fact if
    one disagrees with something in the party, they immediately start
    complaining and leave it.

    Why are they leaving? Why do they not stay in the party and try to
    support their opinions even if their struggle will be in vein? Why
    did Karine Hakobyan express her dissatisfaction after the publication
    of the list when she could still find support for her points of view
    among the society? Why did she do it only after the list was ready
    and published?

    After all, if the party's strategy and ideology are the same, if it
    is loyal to its values and ideas, why do they leave as soon as they
    have a disagreement instead of remaining in the party and promoting
    and defending their opinion and acquiring supporters?

    It would be at least strange if the opposition left the country once
    it failed to come to power. It would be more effective to stay in
    the party and fight until one is removed from the party. Moreover,
    if the removal is illegal and groundless, it is also necessary to
    fight against it.

    In the end, one of the most important issues of Armenia is the low
    level of democracy inside parties and it is necessary to promote the
    solution of this issue through public struggle for one's ideas and
    points of view up to reaching change of party leadership. Otherwise,
    if all this is considered as unnecessary and senseless, being in
    politics also becomes unnecessary and senseless.

    This does not concern only Karine Hakobyan and Heritage. Almost all
    political subjects of the political field of Armenia have gone through
    this, parties split for this reason and new ones are created and
    marginalized. This has been the main reason destroying the political
    system. It is necessary to stop this and each person involved in the
    political system should try to promote this.
