Petros Makeyan: I see no difference between HHK and BHK (video)
The ruling regime in Armenia has always tried 'to plant mines' in the opposition field, the chairman of the Democratic Homeland Party said today when summarizing the passing year. “There have been big mines [in the face of Artashes Geghamyan and Artur Baghdasryan] and small mines which exist up to nowadays but do not have a significant role,” Petros Makeyan said. “The pillar of the acting authorities is the oligarchy, and its levers were used against the opposition. The so-called constitutional reforms were the continuation of the process. One oligarchy is represented by the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) led by Serzh Sargsyan, the other is the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) at the head of Robert Kocharyan. These two men are competition with each other. They are trying to drive us, the parties that have been fighting for at least 15-20 years, out of the game so that we will not disturb them” he said. Mr Makeyan says it is time to recover the situation; otherwise the country’s statehood might be threatened. “The HHK and BHK today are fighting a formal war for power but the fight has its limits: they should not devour each other,” he stressed. “I see no difference between HHK and BHK, between Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan,” he said adding that his party will never cooperate with the opposition trio.
