Today during the reception in the Armenian Center for National and
International Studies in connection with the 11th anniversary of the
Center the RA ex Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian who has never
had a strictly oppositional attitude made a speech about the present
political state in the country.
The leader of the Heritage party criticized severely the authorities
"which have privatized the foreign policy and the economy
of the country and are not even able to make simply political
calculations". "The authorities who tell tales on democracy abroad
evict the people of their houses inside their own country in order
to build houses for the so-called elite".
Raffi Hovannisian also reminded those present about the Mass Media
field where after banning "A1+" and Noyyan Tapan of air the television
has been privatized too filling it with programs testifying to the
lack of taste of their makers.
"There can be no void in the nature, and if there is no democracy,
usurpation comes to take its place", announced Raffi Hovannisian and
noted that Armenia which has become a totalitarian country has lost
its place in the international community. "Our voice is no more heard
in the world", he announced and reminded that the first step to euro
integration was made the very first year of independence, when he
himself as the first RA Foreign Minister made the step. And today,
according to him, Armenia is moving farther and farther of Europe.
As for the economy of the country, Raffi Hovhannisyan noted that
both in rich America and in poor Armenia petrol costs 80cents. And
in Armenia the sums taken from the people are used by several families.
Referring to the Constitutional reforms, Raffi Hovannisian noted
that they were made under the CoE pressure, but it is not possible
"to cover cracked up walls with Euro repairing". The only way out of
the situation created, according to Raffi Hovanissian, is unity not
only inside Armenia but also that between Armenia and the Diaspora.
