IMPOTENT FORCES MUST LEAVE ARMENIA'S RULING COALITION - ARMEN ASHOTYAN
Tert.am
22.03.12
If any political force admits its impotence within the Establishment,
it should leave the ruling coalition, Armenia's Minister of Education
and Science Armen Ashotyan told the 168 zham newspaper.
Below is an excerpt from the minister's interview with the newspaper:
- There has been a year-long tension between the Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA) and the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP). The latter
seems to be seeking secession from the coalition, but President Serzh
Sargsyan does not allow it to. On the other hand, the PAP, which
is the RPA's main rival, may bring Armenia's ex-president Robert
Kocharyan back to power.
Any political force, besides its narrow interests, must have a solid
system of national values. In the context of forthcoming elections,
the RPA seems to be the only political force responsible not only
for its own success, but also for the general process. All the other
political forces placed the responsibility for holding free and
transparent elections - a crucial political task - on us, the RPA.
This caused differences over principles. We are concerned not only
with our own votes, but also in national benefits from well-organized
elections. No one is keeping anyone.
If our partners claim their words mean deeds, we can imagine the
mysterious power of their signatures.
- You are rumored to be seeking to return to Armenia's parliament.
- I have made comments on my Facebook page.
