PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage opposition party's parliamentary group
leader believes recent developments in Armenia's political arena to
have strengthened the party's position.
As Stepan Safaryan told a news conference in Yerevan, the staff
shifts in the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) led to certain
discontent, which, in turn, might weaken the republicans' position.
"The rumors over Prosperous Armenia's intention to leave the coalition,
and the party's passivity in dispelling those are also negatively
affecting RPA's image," Safaryan said.
According to Safaryan, Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition
bloc is also losing grounds judging by the Congress' last rallies
and statements.
Dwelling on the possibility of cooperation with other political forces
during 2012 parliamentary race, the politician said the issue hasn't
been discussed.
On November 3, by the decree of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan,
the first deputy chief of presidential staff Mikael Minasyan was
dismissed to take a post at RPA election headquarters.
On November 1, Armenian parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan announced
his resignation to head RPA electoral headquarters and more effectively
conduct the campaign. Abrahamyan will officially resign at November
14 parliamentary sitting.
Also on November 1, President Sargsyan signed a decree to relieve
Armenian police chief, lieutenant general Alik Sargsyan of his duties
and to appoint him as a presidential advisor. By another decree,
lieutenant general Vladimir Gasparyan was dismissed as the Deputy
Defense Minister and appointed to the post of Armenian police chief
at the government of Armenia.
