The liberal forces will become more widely engaged in the political
sphere of Armenia in the upcoming parliamentary election, forecast
Gurgen Arsenyan, the leader of the Labor Party, on June 20. He said
that his point of view is based on their information and analyses,
as well as the present picture of the parliament. Gurgen Arsenyan
says this parliament is essentially socialist, whereas people demand
liberalism. "Ardarutiun Alliance is socialist by nature, pro-socialist,
the National Unity is leftist, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutiun) is leftist, Orinats Yerkir is centrist pro-leftist,
the Labor Party is liberal, the Republican is centrist pro-rightist,"
says Gurgen Arsenyan. Among the forces outside the parliament
he points to the All-Armenian Movement and the Heritage Party as
liberal. Arsenyan mentions that the prospect of the political sphere
is liberalism.
He says Bargavach Hayastan Party is not liberal. "It is Gensher's
program, conservative progressive. These two words mean Gensher,"
says Gurgen Arsenyan, saying that the author of their program is not
MP Victor Dallakyan. He knows who the author is but he declines to say
who. The leader of the Labor Party does not exclude an alliance with
a liberal force, but he says that there is no question of alliance
in 2007 on the agenda of the Labor Party.
"The United Labor Party has not discussed and considered alliance
in any form or under any circumstances so far. This question is
not under consideration. We are reluctant to conform," says Gurgen
Arsenyan. According to him, the ability of the United Labor Party
will be seen after the election in 2007, when it becomes clear what
percentage of voters supported the political party.
