    After the shooting of oppositionists on Mar 1 2008, those in power
    realized that it would be hard for them to keep power in their hands,
    so, they decided to organize constitutional reforms so as to cancel
    the post of president and to get power in some other way, Director
    of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies Manvel
    Sargsyan told ArmInfo on Monday.

    "The Republicans welcomed that idea as they saw that it was a chance
    for them to keep things the way they were. But some of them raised
    a cry. When appointed as Prime Minister, Hovik Abrahamyan imagined
    that things had changed for him. He convoked all owners and offered
    them new rules. He urged them to pay on an equal basis. But when
    the owners replied, 'Pay yourself first and then we'll also do,'
    Abrahamyan realized that he was nobody. He hoped to put his hand on
    everything but the system went off otherwise. It was then that those
    in power realized that there is no use in changes as they can swap
    people inside without changing anything in the system," Sargsyan said.
