    ARMENIAN OPPOSITION LEADER SUPPORTS PROSPEROUS ARMENIA PARTY

    YEREVAN. - Disputes over Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), whether it
    is an opposition or not, are artificial, opposition Armenian National
    Congress (ANC) leader, Armenia's First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan
    said at the rally in the Yerevan city Liberty Square on Tuesday.

    "Obviously Armenia faces quite a new situation following the new
    Parliament formation and discussions of the Government program. Hardly
    will anyone doubt that it was due to opposition powers, including
    the ANC, PAP, ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Heritage," Ter-Petrosyan claimed.

    Two tricks are used to bring down the intensity of the opposition
    in the eyes of society. Firstly, via PAP's every action Armenia's
    second president Robert Kocharyan is accounted and the threat of
    his return discussed. Secondly, claims are voiced that the PAP is
    not a real opposition, as failed to implement necessary statements
    set by regulations. Being an opposition is proven by real actions,
    regardless of anyone's statements.

    On the other hands, the PAP's claims on being an alternative to
    the authorities are not so successful. Ter-Petrosyan believes that
    transforming into a real opposition will confirm PAP's further
    existence.

    To note, due to May 6 elections six political powers entered new
    Parliament, including Republican Party of Armenia (69 seats), PAP (37),
    ANC (7), Orinats Yerkir (6), ARFD (5) and Heritage (5). The PAP has
    declared that it does not join ruling coalition as does not consider
    it useful. However, it did not declare about being an opposition as
    did Heritage, ANC and ARFD during the first session of the Parliament.
