Many politicians think that this is the only way by which the reproduction of the current authorities is possible to prevent.
Yesterday several politicians and public men, former state officials, intellectual representatives, political and economic experts were discussing and trying to formulate the problems and actions of the movement of the civil insubordination in Armenia. But first of all, advocate Vardan Haroutiunian noticed in his short speech that “figures of the ruling clique have defamed themselves so much involving in criminal relations, have committed so many crimes that they have no opportunity to give the authority without a qualm of conscience”, so it is understandable why they want to keep the authority at any cost and to be reproduced. The participants of discussion were sure that these authorities though their announcements can’t and won’t want to hold fair and free elections because no representative of the current authority will be elected. In the opinion of the activists of the movement the situation in the country may be changed in the following way; “to form such a situation in case of which it will be possible to hold fair and transparent elections, and legal authorities will be formed as a result who will be able to carry out reforms and get the country out of isolation”. For attaining such success, in Mr. Haroutiunian’s opinion, we must manage to organize the activation of despaired people. People who have been deprived of their property for “state needs” have already prompted how to do it by their actions of protest. For the opposition this initiative was a good chance to be rehabilitated in the public and to restore human rights and basic freedoms if that principle and not coming to power was important for them. And while the party leaders discuss their actions, people out of party ambitions have decided to join that movement and to form the movement of civic insuborination based on it.
One of the most effective ways of struggle is the civic insubordination; «realization of the right and fight for the realized right”. “As much the fighters are as soon and effective the struggle will be. We must simply be unified not round a party or a force or a person but round the idea of preventing reproduction of the authorities and leading the country in democratic way,”- V. Haroutiunian suggested who promised yesterday that the activists of the civic movement would participate in the actions of protest of «victims of state needs».
Yesterday discussions didn\’t pass without any serious «debates». Some of them thought that the movement needed in a project, ideas unless nothing will happen. Others were affirming that our people follow the persons and not ideas. In the opinion of NA former vice chairman Karapet Rubinian «other forces near the force of excellent ideas always appear, who don\’t agree with it. We should have one simple aim consists of two points: the illegal authorities must be removed, fair elections must be provided». The former minister Vahan Shirkhanian was for the same who said «it is impossible to reach the formation of legal authority by the coming elections». «I\’m against the thought that our people make their elections by bribes. It isn\’t so, because the people made right elections both in \’98 and 2003. It is another problem that we didn\’t have the power, which would manage to take the authority. Now we can have that power and there is no need in that project. Armenia may avoid of illegal elections by special elections and its way is civic insubordination movement.”
