Since Serzh Sargsyan cannot serve a third term, he is amending the Constitution - political analyst (video)
For the first time in the last 23 years the opposition in Armenia is speaking to the country’s leadership in a simple human language, offering them to solve the problems faced by the society, but the authorities reject their demand, says political analyst Yervand Bozoyan. He says there are hundreds of problems in Armenia and the 12 demands submitted by the opposition concern the most urgent ones that demand an immediate solution. Mr Bozoyan says the controversial constitutional reforms are merely an attempt to provide the reproduction of the leadership. “Since the Constitution does not allow the president to be elected for a third term, they [authorities] are trying to dissolve the institute and increase the role of the parliament,” he said. The political analyst says in the given situation Armenia has two chose between two options – either to start dialogue or be prepared for the Ukraine scenario. The second option is inadmissible for him. In reply to A1+’s observation that extra-ordinary forces, especially those representing the interests of [second president] Robert Kocharyan, are joining the nationwide movement launched by the opposition troika , Mr Bozoyan said he would not like to label any force but he is sure that each of them pursues its own interests.
