Member of Parliament Shavarsh Kocharyan announced May 13 the
evaluation of the parliamentary election 2007 by the West depends on
the alternative of the political sphere rather than the degree of
irregularities.
`All the evaluations of Armenian elections are objective, but their
consistency depends on if the West can see an alternative. If there is
an alternative, the West is consistent,' says Shavarsh Kocharyan.
And for Armenia European integration has no alternative, says the
leader of the National Democratic Party. He says even the government
understands this, and the evidence to this is Arthur Baghdasaryan's
statements.
`The fact that today the Orinats Yerkir emphasizes democratization,
European integration. This is something positive, positive in the
sense that it displays that there is no other alternative for
Armenia. In other words, this shows that even the regime acknowledges
this, simply Arthur Baghdasaryan opposed to the other branches of
power and put the question more acutely out of certain aims,' says
Shavarsh Kocharyan. Besides, he does not exclude that Arthur
Baghdasaryan could have decided to resign and secede from the
coalition relying on signals from the West.
`In fact, the West has a positive attitude towards him, this is
obvious. But its continuity depends on people's attitude,' says
Shavarsh Kocharyan, emphasizing again that the West supports those who
offer an alternative tothe present government.
