YEREVAN. - Second President Robert Kocharyan started the process of
discrediting the political parties in Armenia.
Opposition Armenian National Congress bloc former member, Green Party
of Armenia Chairman Armenak Dovlatyan stated the above-said at a
press conference on Wednesday.
In his words, dozens of political parties, clones were set up during
Kocharyan's tenure.
"They were doing different things, [and] they were doing something and
being discredited; this was causing disenchantment among the people.
"Now, numerous active youth do not want to become party members,
they fear the party name because the meaning of a political party is
discredited," Dovlatyan said, and added that all this was a targeted
policy.
As per the Green Party leader, if people do not want to collaborate
with political parties, this weakens the parties and the society,
alike.
He also noted that a reason why the Green Party of Armenia is not
very active is because of their limited financial resources, and
since they do not have fellow party members that are businessmen.
Armenak Dovlatyan also stressed that the majority of Armenia's
emigrants are representatives of the opposition, and that human and
quality force is reducing on a daily basis.
