HERITAGE PARTY CRITICIZES COALITION'S AGREEMENT
Tert.am
18.02.11
The ruling coalition's joint agreement is kind of attempt to falsify
the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections in Armenia, the
leader of the Heritage party faction in parliament, Stepan Safaryan,
has told reporters.
"To be frank, I was surprised to know that it is possible to sign a
document which is disgraceful not only for the country but also the
parties themselves," he told a news conference on Friday.
Safaryan said it would be better if the coalition partners [Republican,
Prosperous Armenia, and Rule of Law] called a meeting and declared
their intention to merge into a single party.
"It's just beyond any logic when a political party announces it
doesn't seek to maintain power or propose a candidate for elections.
It conflicts with the principles of political science and the classical
political concepts."
"We need to change the cooperation format," he said, adding that the
opposition always had better chances to win.
He stressed that the ruling parties' flexible policy appeared to be
their only key to success.
Speaking about the opposition, Safaryan said it is very unlikely to
unite by the upcoming elections.
"The Armenian opposition's attempts to unite have failed several
times," he added.
