YEREVAN. – Armenia is in a region where the most unpredictable events may occur, analyst and former MP Ruben Hakobyan said at a press conference on Thursday.

In his words, it is hard to predict how global events will develop.

“But our region is one of the most militarized and risky ones in the world,” Hakobyan added. “[So] we are required [to have] an ability to properly respond to it through appropriate policy.”

He noted, however, that Armenia’s political system does not meet these challenges. As per the analyst, both the opposition and the halls of power in the country “play” with the same rules.

“All politicians in Armenia suffer from narcissism and consider themselves special and irreplaceable,” added the ex-MP.  

In his view, the incumbent Armenian authorities take advantage of this and cause a split among the opposition ranks. 

In addition, as per Ruben Hakobyan, the current powers that be cash in on the fact that the opposition in Armenia cannot offer a true alternative.
