How the opposition and government struggle against Armenia
The key figures of Levon Ter-Petrosyan ensure that 4-5 years ago Armenia’s first president had a phone conversation with a high-ranking official from Russia. Even the closest loyalists of Ter-Petrosyan don’t know who the first president has spoken to. But that is not the important thing.
Ter-Petrosyan’s loyalist assured that the Russian government is fully supportive of the ANC, which means that it can change the whole way forward ANC sources said that Armenia’s government does not trust the authorities, which uses every possible occasion to play “games” with the West.
Russia plans to have a stable and reliable partner in Armenia. ANC is also aware that Russian officials talked to the leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan and urged him to be more actively involved in the political struggle between the ANC leadership and the party leader has the task of maintaining the property, and to all appearances, Russia pledge to given the power to act against the explicit will of the opposition’s right to freedom.
It is hard to say whether these rumors are truthful or not. But there is a clear trend in the behavior of Armenia’s political forces have always been driven by external factors. Leaders of political parties or the political process was initiated to try to get the support of foreign powers, believing that they will succeed only if external support. The absence of such assistance will help ease the power to punish opposition sees the addition of the external forces acting on the internal processes of the role of the financial sponsor.
Armenia’s opposition has no internal financial resources, and political activities without financial resources cannot be possible, if opposition politicians fail to succeed in coming to power of the same, guaranteed financial success from the beginning. And what is the goal of this support? Why is Russia trying to instigate the political situation in Armenia again? Although the Armenia government stated that it was going to join the CU but Armenia doesn’t miss an occasion of continuing to conduct a complementary foreign policy. Armenia has officially announced that they were ready to sign the Association Agreement, which has made the new leadership of Ukraine. EU leaders still believe that the political and economic parts of the Association Agreement (Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement) are inseparable from each other, and they can be signed at the same time. But it’s only part of the agreement with Ukraine yesterday showed that the change in the EU’s approach.
It is possible that the European Union would agree that the political part of the Association Agreement was signed, which means that the policy continues to be complementary, i.e. Armenia is trying to complete maintain some independence and not dependence on Russia, which, understandably, is not acceptable for Russia. Russia has only way to prevent such a course of events – show that if the government attempts to Armenia complementary” policy, the threat of power to the opposition and keep power more important than any political principle.
In short, the political opposition activity will make it even formal relations with the EU refuse to appear and complete dependence on Russia. Opposition to the government is trying to fight against the Russian government’s support for both Armenia and suppress opposition to the government to eliminate him as a competitor trying to get the government’s permission.
Armenia’s position on the issue of the Crimean protect can also be seen in the context of Armenia’s trying to show that it is ready to defend any of the side and for that it can only expect that Russia will not allow the government to solve Armenia’s destruction. Russia can allow itself to do so. In that case the necessity of Armenia’s opposition would be no use at all as well as the existence of the government in general. Thus, by trying to eliminate each other the Armenian opposition and government are actually eliminating Armenia as a state.
