Do Armenian oppositionists need to attend patriotism lessons?June 25, 2009 - 21:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Declarations of the Armenian opposition that PACE monitoring means the end of the world, seem ridiculous, and Armenians of Diaspora are very disappointed by the effort of opposition to discredit the own motherland," Marat Hakopian, head of the Information analytical center Analitika.at.ua said a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "Ukraine is considered to be a leader in democracy among CIS countries, but Ukraine is also under monitoring and it does not mean that there is no democracy in Ukraine or Armenia. I believe Armenian oppositionists need to attend patriotism lessons not to disgrace their motherland and not to look ridiculous in the eyes of world public" Hakopian stressed. According to him, Armenian opposition, like Azeri propagandists are suffering from political amnesia. Mr. Hakopian reminded that Armenians all over the world remember the situation in the country during ANM and its president rule, and today's manipulations of opposition look odd.
