ArmInfo. The mission of the Bright Armenia Party is to be the most likely successor and competitor of the government, offering an alternative to the people and citizens of Armenia. This is stated by party leader Edmon Marukyan on the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the foundation of Bright Armenia, posted on his Facebook page.
According to him, the party has experienced unfavourable times, there were successes and losses, periods of ups and downs, but with all this, all obstacles and difficulties were overcome. "We overcame this because we remained faithful to our mission, principles and ideas that we adhere to and uphold. There is no exaggeration in these formulations, and the greatest evidence of this is the current status and activities of Bright Armenia. Our short-term goal is to be strong and viable opposition. The political system is now extremely primitive, and therefore the perception of politics by people is also primitive. A black-and-white environment is being formed, good forces are fighting against evil forces, revolutionaries are fighting in counterrevolutionaries. And we say that politics and the world as a whole cannot be black and white, they are diverse. We say that politics is not a confrontation between revolutionary saints and political criminals. We must get out of this destructive and artificial cycle and begin to pursue real political work to solve real problems and problems of society, "said Marukyan in a statement.
According to him, if the real opposition does not fulfill its mission today, the revolution will fail, as the political system will be monopolized, which will turn the current government into a monopoly monster, backward ideological trends should be replaced by progressive, enlightening ideas, since Armenia is a European state. "No matter how much they criticize us or organize propaganda campaigns against us, we will still do our job, not give up and carry out a great mission. The time of transitional elements will pass, and the ideas of enlightenment will win, and it follows that both Armenia and its people will win, "said Marukyan in a statement.
