Repeating Ukraine’s mistakes: Armenia “cleansing” explained

Former President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan hides from the followers of the leader of the so-called Yerevan Maydan and new Prime Minister Nikola Pashinyan, Says political analyst Marat Basharov.

“A cleansing is taking place in Armenia today. The relatives and law enforcement agencies loyal to  the ex-president of Armenia are suffering. Ex-President Sargsyan now hides in Moscow – the only safe place, “the expert said, adding:” This is not Europe: if you lose power –  you have to run. “

The night before yesterday, the brother of former president Alexander Sargsyan was detained in Armenia. But after a few hours he was released. In addition,  the ex-president of Vachagan Ghazaryan is accused of illegal ennobling.

“There is a struggle in Armenia. And this struggle is within parties. The pro-Moscow party fights against the pro-Western, the Yerevan clan with the Karabakh clan and so on in a circle. The Western opponents of former President Sargsyan are giving criminal cases regarding the environment of the former president. The sweep is accompanied by searches and arrests of relatives of supporters of Sargsyan “, – the telegram-channel” Nezigar “

Gleb Kuznetsov drew attention to the fact that today in Armenia experience and education are not important: “The main thing is that you are a husband, matchmaker, brother, son-in-law and so on. The family became more important than experience. If you are from the “right family” then you have a bright future, “the political scientist explained.
