The opposition has managed to break the situation when the authorities
used to force any odious decision in the parliament without any
obstacle, the head of the Armenian National Congress parliamentary
faction, Levon Zurabyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
To recall, on 18 June the non-coalition parliamentary factions - ANC,
PAP, Heritage, ARFD and Orinats Yerkir refused to register themselves
and torpedoed opening of the extraordinary session of the parliament.
The ruling RPA did not manage to gather 66 deputies for quorum.
Zurabyan said that the incident is a sign of the growing influence
of the opposition. "This is evidence of the consolidation process
between the non-power parliamentary forces that started two years
ago and today gives results. Until recently the authorities had
an absolutely controlled parliament, ready at any moment to adopt
any bills of the government. There was no discussion and pluralism
of viewpoints. We have managed to break the situation. Today the
opposition is consolidated as never before, it uses effective ways
of fight and all the available levers to overcome personalism of the
authorities. The latter are less confident in their actions. I think
that pressing by the opposition will go on growing", - Zurabyan said.
He also added that the key purpose of the "four" is creation
of a wide public consolidation against the incumbent power and
attraction of great masses of population in this protest.
