ArmInfo.I do not think that the recent resignations will somehow contribute to the formation of a new opposition. This process is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Vice-Chairman of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) Aram Manukyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"In general, I'm not inclined to consider the same resignation of the NSS director Arthur Vanetsyan as something out of the ordinary. In any case, I assess the changes positively, I think that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had reasons for this. And I do not advise anyone to give any ratings based on non-existent information. I also don't advise Vanetsyan to go into politics, especially the opposition, "he stressed.
According to Manukyan, only people with a biography, merits, ideas that inspire the confidence of the people can claim the status of an oppositionist. And thieves who do not consider themselves political prisoners are still not responsible for the theft yesterday. According to his estimates, everyone knows how yesterday's activity was, as well as the size of the property and the role that the formerly activated Mikayel Minasyan played under the former authorities. The ANC deputy chairman is convinced that the people all these dubious merits of Robert Kocharyan and Minasyan perfectly remember and no masks will help them here. According to Manukyan, without bearing responsibility for the political activities of the current authorities, the ANC is a supporter of the ideas of the revolution. And their interests coincide in some places.
In particular, regarding the investigation of the events of March 1, 2008. And if the ANC suddenly sees that Pashinyan is too slow in this matter, then, according to him, it will calmly criticize him. "We are dissatisfied with the slowness of power. The more you delay the reforms, the more the possibility of their implementation decreases. The reform that is possible today will become difficult in a year, in three years it will become impossible. The same question of the Constitutional Court could be more easily resolved 3-4 more months ago. As a result, justice is fighting money today. The former government came out against justice that had not yet had time to strengthen, "Manukyan summed up.
