YEREVAN. - With participation in a protest action against cumulative
pension system, Prosperous Armenia (PA) is trying to some extent to
enforce its positions in the opposition field, political analyst
Sergey Minasyan said.
Minasyan, deputy director of Caucasus Institute, said the party is
trying not to miss the wave of protests in order to show that it is
the key non-coalition political force.
`Whether they like it or not, Prosperous Armenia at the moment is the
largest parliamentary opposition party in the country,' Minasyan told
Armenian News-NEWS.am. The fact that PA has no representatives in the
Cabinet, at the same time being represented in the parliament, makes
it an opposition force.
On the other hand, analyst says, the opposition essence of PA differs
from that of the Armenian National Congress.
The four non-ruling-coalition factions of the Armenian National
Assembly will participate in a rally against the mandatory cumulative
pension plan.
