ARMENIA'S RULING PARTY HAS NO INTENTION TO BECOME OPPOSITION
14:37 ~U 14.06.13
Galust Sahakyan, Head of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
parliamentary group, states that the RPA has no intention to become
an opposition force.
With respect to the opposition's claims that the authorities'
self-criticism and the developments in Armenia's parliament are a
mere show, Sahakyan agrees it is a show, but without him and his
fellow members' as actors.
"The opposition has to take on certain political tasks. The opposition
has active political figures," Sahakyan said.
"The opposition should have introduced [all the bills], but we are
doing it, and we are right," he said.
With respect to the inspections by the Control Chamber, Sahakyan said
that relevant political decisions will be made.
He noted that the Control Chamber's reports are not shows. Rather,
the reports are presented to the public as a preventive measure.
"Abuse is a social phenomenon, and public and political forces must
enable society to express its opinion. This is a better preventive
measure," he said.
