YEREVAN. - They usually say anything that is new is the well-forgotten
old one, but, in the case of Armenia's new Government, it seems the
new one is the well-remembered old one, political technologist Karen
Kocharyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the makeup of the
country's new Cabinet of Ministers.
`Conditionally, the new faces in the Government are [capital city
Yerevan's former Mayor] Gagik Beglaryan and [ruling coalition's junior
partner Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) Party's former MP] Samvel
Tadevosyan. And if we factor in [the fact that] the Labor and Social
Affairs Minister is the same body's [now former] Deputy Minister, we
can speak [solely] about insignificant changes,' noted Kocharyan.
In his words, it is difficult to predict how the Parliament will
accept the Government's program.
`PM Tigran Sargsyan met with all parliamentary forces, except for the
[opposition] Armenian National Congress which stated it will criticize
the Government,' said the political technologist.
At the same time, however, Karen Kocharyan did not rule out the
possibility that the coalition government's senior member, the
Republican Party (RPA), could introduce some draft laws to the
Parliament with difficulty. The RPA has a majority in terms of
parliamentary seats, and therefore it can pass any law proposal.
`I do not think the Prosperous Armenian [Party] will create obstacles
on many issues,' Kocharyan concluded.
