ArmInfo. Elections, conducted this year in Armenia, may be called elections only formally, according to Ara Papyan, Modus Vivendi investigation center head statement during the press conference.
He stressed that we lead a path to dictature. According to him, during next 5 years there will be no elections in Armenia, which has its positive points and negative ones. "Plus is that the nation will have time to think and clearly express its point of view, and the minus is that for this long period of time the nationals of the country will not have opportunity to express their will," he stressed.
"What about Armenia's neighbors, while we were busy conducting elections, they created country. Neighbor Georgia for this time significantly promoted cooperation with the USA and moved its relations with EU forward, while Armenian membership in EU economy union gave nothing to the Republic anything,> stressed the expert.
Aliev, according to Papyan, leads another direction, trying to use Islamic world against Armenia. At that he recognized that Baku efforts in this respect are in vain.
Expert considers that Russia and Turkey reaching common ground is an alarm for Armenia. "Russia and Turkey participated in One Belt One Road international forum in China, related to the Silk Road bridges construction. And the absence of Armenia in such projects is of a great lack for us either in political and industrial aspects," Papyan stressed.
What is to the situation to the cross boundary areas of Armenia, according to the center head, Baku conducts the policy of pushing out Armenians from their native lands. "Keeping under cannonades the near boundary villages, Azerbaijan tries to make villagers to leave their homes, and we, failing to improve the life conditions in cross boundary areas, do support enemy's efforts. We are in a long bellum with Azerbaijan, and this is not just a war of armies. To win, we should come out with a counter strike," Ara Papyan said.
