YEREVAN, APRIL 4, NOYAN TAPAN. Today society is in the condition of
expectation, as the opposition does not undertake active actions. Under
the circumstance, as Larisa Alaverdian, a member of the RA National
Assembly Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction, stated at the April 4 press
conference, the arrests carried out at present are strange, as they
cause more questions than answers. "Doing so the authorities either
try to show that they are strong or they are not afraid of further
aggravations," L. Alaverdian said.
Speaking about the proposal made by the Council of Europe Committee
of Ministers Monitoring Ago Group to the RA authorities, the deputy
said that they proposed nothing new: it had been spoken about at the
NA sittings, but the authorities and media have never responded to
it. While the latters give a more active response to only proposals
of international institutions.
Touching upon the issue of Zharangutiun's renouncing its mandates,
L. Alaverdian said that this issue has been never discussed in the
faction mentioning that it is only discussed by media. According to
the deputy, it would be more logical if that issue were raised on
the part of illegally elected deputies. And Zharangutiun, according
to her, as the only parliamentary opposition should be the "apply of
the authorities eye."
