I think it’s OK when people sell their votes because that’s what democracy is in its essence. It is the same all over the world. The difference is that in Western countries the voters sell their votes very expensive. ..

We need to organize voter education centers, so that during these elections they sell their votes for flats, expensive cars etc. etc.

I feel so sad about these poor citizens. It was the same 10 years ago. Nothing has changed. Everybody is ready to sell his or her vote in return for potatoes, sugar, favor…cash…anything…

Prosperous Armenia is not a party. It is a joke and reflects how weak the civil society in Armenia is. We have such a distorted understanding of what the political party is…what the real philanthropy is, what the charitable action is…

members who were mainly forced/didnt have a choice to membership because they needed medical care, feed themselves (potato) or just because they dont want to loose their jobs or their kids being kicked out of schools or kindergartens.

Onnik invites for discussion and comments both at Oneworld and the CRD/TI Armenia’s Election Monitor 2007 about the issues related to the “Prosperous Armenia” - the “overnight” party that recruited 370,000 memebers over the period of one year to become the largest party around (RFE/RL).

There is no “phenomenum” as such. Tsarukian and his “Prosperous Armenia” is nothing but a mean tool created by the “People’s elect” Kocharyan in order to re-produce kocharyanism in the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections.
