Only complete government change can solve crisis in Armenia - opposition MP
12:50 * 05.04.14
In an interview with Tert.am, Lyudmila Sargsyan, an opposition MP from
the Armenian National Congress, said she finds a complete change to be
the only way out of the political crisis in Armenia. She said Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan's resignation has not absolutely influenced
the parliamentary opposition's plans for achieving a coup d'etat.
Ms Sargsyan, the demand for the prime minister's resignation was
actually met. So what are you now planning to call for? What if you
say, perhaps, the resignation of [President] Serzh Sargsyan?
We naturally have to direct our efforts to that, strive for steps and
achieve that resignation as a result of a demonstration wave.
Do you think the Prosperous Armenia party will direct its efforts to
Serzh Sargsyan's resignation? Have there been discussions of the kind?
We will continue the discussions. I do not want to name a specific
political force, but I believe we all seek for a full government
change.
Don't you even wait till a new candidate's name is made public?
We are not a Napoleon, so the flight of our mind never goes that far.
But I think we still have time for consultations and debates. To the
best of my knowledge the [opposition] quartet is now in the middle of
discussions. I think the time will come for us to unveil the roadmap
of our platform.
The PAP said, nonetheless, that they would be content with the prime
minister's replacement unless the [new premier] is from the Republican
Party of Armenia. The RPA met them half-way, so it's quite possible
that the [new cabinet chief] will not be an RPA member. Available
analyses now say that the quartet's collapse will be inevitable should
the PAP name a proper candidate for the prime minister.
Such analyses are absolutely possible, especially by the interested
parties, forces and analysts who definitely wish to frustrate the
quartet's plans. That's normal, as each unit pursues its own
interests, at times receiving guidance from different sides. I treat
that as quite a normal process. But I know the quartet is dominated by
other moods, so only a government change can help the country overcome
a crisis situation as this.
