Smbat Ayvazyan, the member of city soviet of “Republic” Party says.
Our society, contrary to the authorities’ wish, has launched a process of self cleaning and activation of the political arena. Smbat Ayvazyan is sure in it saying: “Though the current authorities have done their best to destroy the political arena, depriving it of any ideology since the reproduction of the current criminal authority is possible only in case of that kind of political arena, but they haven’t even suppose that the public will start acting itself”. In Mr. Ayvazyan’s opinion, the society becomes more and more active, announcing the beginning of a new movement.
In our interlocutor’s opinion, the atmosphere of hatred and distrust, separatism of the state and population, assimilation of authority and financial ruling clique and its criminal character threaten the existence of our country and prevent public development. “The First President’s return into active policy is connected with the public demand”, – Smbat Ayvazyan said adding that “First President’s return into policy is also and objective necessity, and it is not accidental that those forces became carrying out policy just in this period when we should solve and unsolvable problem, when standard way of thinking supposes retreat and tolerance. Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s speech on October 26 is a good proof for my words. I am sure that new unifying ideas will be sounded during the coming mass meetings.”
Unfortunately a part of our population thinks that the current authorities are the successors of the former authorities, and RA First President embodies the previous authority. Smbat Ayvazyan agreed with that standpoint adding that that kind of interpretation only misleads people and is being used by the authorities “to address their anti democratic, criminal action to others, prevent the unification of the public”. Our interlocutor also added: “Let’s not forget that the current authorities were alluding to the former authorities by making any kind of crime. They were robbing the country but were accusing the formers, depriving people of their property but showing the formers. A dozen of newspapers, radio stations and TV Companies have given false information to the population for about 10 year. Doing this they hoped to cheat the people. I think that the policy of the current authorities have been successful, and the 90% of the negative orientation towards the “former” authorities is the result of the current regime’s false information, from energy crisis to political murders”, – Smbat Ayvazyan is sure. The latter didn’t deny that the former authorities had also made mistakes and omissions: “But let’s not forget that people were leading a new formed state that time, and the lack of having a democratic state was obvious, Armenia was conducting a war and was in blockade, railway or gas pipeline was being exploded every month. But our people managed to win the war and overpass the energy and food challenges. I am sure that our people haven’t also forgotten our victories, and disinformation against Levon Ter-Petrosyan can’t change the direction of coming development, because, irrespective of social conditions, people never loose the capability of comparison and appraisal”.
