“Only HHK and HAK set their mind” (video)
Only 45 days before the NA elections’ campaign, the political field has just started rearranging and noting its pre-election topics. The analysts single out two political forces, which have already set their mind, “It is the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), which will be guided, naturally, by PM’s activities, who today doesn’t have those positive expectations, which existed in the society during his appointment. The second is the Armenian National Congress (HAK), which brought forward ‘Peace now’ Karabakh project, which will be the base of its campaign,” political expert Armen Badalyan told “A1+”. Political unions and alliances, being ecocentric, not having united ideological base, are de facto artificial, “One alliance is comprehensible- ‘Yelk’ (Way out) alliance, which consists of three parties, among them “Hanrapetutyun” (Republic) party has existed for many years, but hasn’t been active, but those two are at least somehow active. As for other alliances, Tsarukyan’s alliance is talked about, but it is incomprehensible who will be involved in it. The third alliance- “Consolidation”, “Third republic” and Democratic Party of Armenia (HDK), it isn’t secret that they are man-parties; in reality there isn’t such a party and there isn’t such an alliance.” The recent local elections showed that the positions of the HAK have weakened, “There are objective and subjective reasons. Objective reason is migration, and the subjective is that during previous years they weren’t able to concentrate in political field. As for their future, they brought forward “Peace now” slogan, which is more beneficial for the power formation center outside the RA than the RA electors. Mainly our compatriots living in Russia may support the fact that there will be a power in the RA NA, which supports this option of the NK issue resolution.” For the first time, the voting will be held according to new electoral order, “Complex electoral system will create a phenomenon that there will by large amount of invalid votes, as when we take into account the level of legal awareness of voters, it isn’t secret that it has decreased.” According to the predictions of the political expert, April 2 parliamentary elections will not differ much from the previous ones; bribe will influence the NA elections, as well as Russia. The influence of the West will be weaker.
