The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) is sure to shake
hands with the ruling regime some time in future, according to Paruyr
Hayrikyan, the leader of the National Self-determination Union party.
At a news conference on Monday, Hayrikyan said he is unclear about
why people should respond to the opposition's call for joining their
protest.
"Many say it is for creating a legitimate government. Of course,
methods determine the essence, but do not forget that Hitler was also
elected legitimately," he noted.
The politician said he attaches more importance to the ANC's proposals
that may or may not allow for any support.
"A key question here is whether they are fighting with the authorities
in order to seize power or in order to give that power to its true
holders ~V i.e. the people. " he said.
Hayrikyan noted that the other opposition forces will have no other
choice but to back either the ANC or the authorities in case they
refuse to unite.
"The ANC wishes at best to become a key political force which that
will later shake hands with the authorities by all means," he said,
recalling a similar precedent when Stepan Demirchyan, the leader of
the People's Party of Armenia (a political force represented in ANC),
had shaken hands with second President Robert Kocharyan.
