“Electricity price hike will affect those who have jacuzzis, intellectuals will suffer” (video)
Opposing the authorities is very bad and concessions must be made, “Protesters must understand that it is impossible to fulfill their demands by 100%,” today sociologist Aharon Adibekyna told the journalists. The sociologist thinks that most of all electricity price hike will affect the rich who have Jacuzzis, air conditioners, more than two refrigerators, but they are wealthy. “We, the intellectuals, are the most vulnerable group, as we work much using electricity, read books, watch programs, the intellectuals should have risen and said “What are you doing?”, at least they [the authorities] should have made some concessions for us,” said the sociologist. At the same time he notes that annually the ENA has 12 % loss and the society mustn’t pay for those losses. Another speaker of the press conference, psychologist Anna Badalyan while touching upon the recent protests noted that the people gathered didn’t turn into a crowd and there were leaders, who were able to come through with flying colors. There was even an atmosphere of tolerance. As to the division of protesters into two parts on June 28, the psychologist noted that during that period people felt not only disappointed but also troubled, “But it happened in an interesting way and it wasn’t explosive.”
