Robert Aharonyan: We are radical opposition
Head of the organizing committee of the People’s Patriotic Progressive Socialist Party Robert Aharonyan announced the establishment of the party at a meeting with reporters on Tuesday, noting that they are a “radical opposition” and explaining that they are an opposition not only to the authorities, but also to “all the capitalist parties operating in Armenia and all the parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties which pretend to be an opposition.”
According to Aharonyan, the people are currently disappointed with the political forces because they see no political force which could abandon capitalist ideology and move towards socialism.
“There is no politics in Armenia. The politics is focused on minor issues. Our main aim is to bring socialism to Armenia,” he said, adding that all existing problems are a result of the capitalist system.
According to Mr Aharonyan, they are going to support the authorities only in joining the Customs Union since they realize that the accession to the Customs Union or the Eurasian Union is the only way out of this situation.
