Interview with Vahan Hovhannisyan, head of NA ARF Dashnaktsutyun
The representatives of the coalition also participated in the forum
organized by the opposition to discuss 100% proportional
representation. Will you comment on this?
It is commendable and clear. It is clear that the purpose of the
initiative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Heritage and the
extra-parliamentary forces that joined the initiative is to change the
government.
We want to establish the mechanism of slow change of government by the
establishment of proportional representation. The government
understands that its change is wanted. Proportional representation is
a possibility to change the government peacefully. A situation is
needed which people will use to achieve change. They have come not to
be left out of the discussion. As you can see, something interesting
took place. Nobody said to be against the establishment of
proportional representation. So, the issue is not the principle. What
is the issue then? Keeping close to government? People and the society
must understand this and get armed with a broom.
The position of the Bargavach Hayastan Party is close to the position
of the opposition on the proportional representation. What is the
reason?
It means that the BHP is closer to the democratic tradition that their
partners in the coalition.
Do you see terms for cooperation with them?
Not of course.
Do you find cooperation with the Congress possible?
Generally, I can see terms for cooperation in the opposition. However,
serious discussion is needed not to allow manipulation of any personal
point of view.
