YEREVAN. - Opposition parties should be more aggressive and steadfast
in their activities in order to poll votes.
United States Ambassador to Armenia, John Heffern, told the
abovementioned to A1+ News Agency, responding to the question as to
how the opposition can assume power if this is impossible by way of
elections.
`By saying aggressive I do not mean that they should be bellicose and
truculent, I mean to say that they need to determine and organize the
party's interests more actively,' Heffern said.
The American diplomat noted that to achieve success the opposition
should take steps; at least it should be aware of the violations
committed in elections.
`The opposition should be able to specify violations and find ways to
address them,' he noted.
In John Heffern's view, the opposition should be given equal footing,
for example, it must have the opportunity to work with the media.
