The people elected only once in the past twenty years, and that was
in 1988 "when there was no procedure of placing ballots in the ballot
box, but the people chose a way of life, a form and type of governance
and turned those two into a reality," former member of the Karabakh
Committee Ashot Manucharyan said during a press conference today.
According to him, after that, all the elections haven't had anything
to do with the expression of the people's will. Manucharyan says the
May 6 parliamentary elections will be the "same formal process".
To ensure real elections, Manucharyan says it is necessary to create a
fully new system of values that will reject "the culture of widespread
confiscation".
If one of the parties against the current situation such as the
Armenian National Congress, "Heritage" or the Free Democrats, includes
the youth fighting to make a change, then we will be able to ensure
real elections," said Manucharyan.
He meant the greens, the Sardarapat Movement with its "rather large
youth group".
"Those youth are making a real choice. They are trying to change
things. The adults are trying to find their places in the system that
has been created and provide their services to this or that foreign
power," said Ashot Manucharyan, adding that "that has a defect". "In
order for them to find their places, thousands have to suffer."
Ashot Manucharyan is certain that the country truly needs a revolution,
which means a change in the system of values. "The authorities can't
change. They can only imitate."
