According to Dustrik Mkhitaryan, member of co-ordinating board for the Republican Movement of Women, power has been seized in Armenia since 1996 . She says 2003’ presidential elections in Armenia were marred by active participation of “policemen with rubber truncheons” .
Ethnologist Hranush Kharatyan, “Hazarashen” NGO Chair, is not surprised at that fact. She says a state figure with a gun has been a “normal” phenomenon since 1996, so a policeman with a truncheon is not shocking.
Kharatyan foresees after May 25 the national bourgeoisie will make a majority in Parliament obviously breaking the rights of the other social strata.
