10:54 • 21.04.13
The opposition has big chances to unite after the Yerevan Council of
Elders election, Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun
(ARF-D) Bureau member Aghvan Vardanyan said speaking to Tert.am.
“If the opposition representatives gather separately the utmost votes
and have a great number of city council members, it will be strange if
neither of opposition forces unites nor opposition mayor is elected,”
he said stressing that it will also give an opportunity to clarify the
status of forces playing in the political field.
“The force that will not unite will reveal that it is not frank in its
fight be it the Prosperous Armenia, ARF-D, Armenian National Congress
or Heritage,” he stressed.
Asked about the possibility of failure, Vardanyan said in this case it
is possible to find solution. He said the ARF-D is struggling to gain
the majority of the votes and after the elections are over they will
discuss the issue on the basis of the gathered votes.
Speaking about the meeting between Armenia’s president Serzh Sargsyan
and ARF-D representative Armen Rustamyan, Vardanyan said they are a
political force that does not have enemies and are openly working with
all the parties both opposition and the ruling one.
He said at the meeting they have presented to Serzh Sargsyan their own
approaches over the changes in the country, about the reappointment of
the PM, stressing that the government headed by him has failed all the
programs.
“We have presented a clear political proposal that relates to the
parliamentary system, radical changes in the Election Code. Besides,
we have said that the reappointment of the PM who has failed all the
previous programs is unacceptable,” he said.
Vardanyan said the president stressed that some issues may be
discussed and their proposals be taken into consideration while in the
others their approaches differ.
Referring to Raffi Hovannisian’s initiative of creation New Armenia
front, Vardanyan said they have already voiced their viewpoint and the
rest will be discussed in future as well.
Concluding, Vardanyan said that the opposition should do the utmost to
gather the majority of the votes and Yerevan be headed by opposition
representative.
