YEREVAN. - In terms of quality, Armenia's current National Assembly
(NA) is lot higher than the previous two, ruling Republican Party MP
Manvel Badeyan said during a press conference on Monday.
He noted that he had this impression from the views expressed during
the NA discussions on the Government's program.
"Overall, both the criticism and the defense were made by
professionals," he said.
In his turn, politician and Nagorno-Karabakh Republic's former FM
Arman Melikyan noted that the NA's qualitative makeup is conditioned
on the quality of holding the parliamentary elections.
"We have an agreement in the NA, but the body politic does not have
an NA yet. We have an NA where the authorities have the necessary
majority," he stated.
As per Arman Melikyan, the political opposition which demanded justice
from the streets, by and large, adapted, entered the Parliament,
and agreed to the small number of NA seats.
And reflecting on a possible collaboration between the Prosperous
Armenia Party (PAP) and the opposition Armenian National Congress
(ANC), Manvel Badeyan noted that the PAP has lot more political weight
than the ANC.
And in Arman Melikyan's view, the discussions about such cooperation
are illusions.
"These illusions will not become real. The opposition's activities
are crushed because the opposition which was on the street and was
expecting a change in power no longer exists," concluded Melikyan.
