ArmInfo. Leaders of Ramkavar Azatakan party of Armenia Harutyun
Arakelyan and People's party, Head of "ALM" Holding Tigran Karapetyan
demand from RA authorities to create equal starting conditions for
all the political forces of the country.
As T. Karapetyan said in "Mirror" club today, just absence of equal
starting conditions allows the authorities to falsify the election and
creates the presently available tense situation in the society. "We
offer to form election committees with participation of representatives
of non-parliamentary parties and abolish the post of the head of the
Central Election Committee. The opposition should make up 30-35% of the
total number of parliamentarians like in Georgia", T. Karapetyan said.
For his part, leader of RAPA Harutyun Arakelyan offered the authorities
"to grant places to non-parliamentary parties for creation of a
non-parliamentary parliament, where they can gather and assess
the vital events". Both participants in the discussion called RA
President Serzh Sargsyan's initiative on creation of a Public Council
under the country's president unserious. "I do not understand how can
representatives of political and public forces fit together in one,
even consultative body?
This is an absolute mess. I do not treat this proposal
seriously". H. Arakelyan said that he knew about this initiative from
journalists and he does not support it either. He also said that the
process of unification of RAPA with "Dashink" and "National Rebirth"
parties, started in 2007, is coming to the end, an the unification
congress will give answers to all the organizational questions related
to the party's name and its governing body in autumn. "This congress
will be a correct step with respect to the political forces which
consult with us on joining", Arakelyan said.
Tigran Karapetyan also negatively spoke of the initiative of "Heritage"
party leader Raffi Hovannisian, who offered himself as a mediator on
organization of negotiations of the ruling coalition and the opposition
headed by Levon Ter-Petrosyan. He thinks that R. Hovannisian cannot be
a mediator as he openly announced about support of L. Ter- Petrosyan
even in winter, which means that he is not an impartial party.
