Drift to Dictatorship Clouds Armenia's Happiness
Date: 03 January 1997
By Michael Specter
Michael Specter
Armenia enjoys fruits of peace and prosperity, but drift toward dictatorship clouds public mood in country once regarded as oasis of civility and democracy; Armenians have food, fuel, consumer goods, stable currency and rising incomes, but last fall's presidential elections were so flawed that US declined even to offer routine congratulations to Levon Ter-Petrossian; diminishing press freedoms and rising human-rights violations described as Ter-Petrossian transforms himself from liberal intellectual to stony autocrat; he rarely speaks in public, has no tolerance for opposition and makes decisions in secret, so that opposition lawmakers usually do not bother to attend sessions; opposition politicians and reporters were beaten and jailed after disputed elections that Ter-Petrossian won by few percentage points; opponent, former Prime Min Vazgen Manoukian, only recently emerged from hiding; Ter-Petrossian, philologist who was jailed by Soviets as dissident, began turn away from democracy in 1994 when he banned major party and curbed press; new Constitution gives president unusually sweeping powers (M)
