LEVON ZURABYAN. "WE MUST FIGHT AGAINST THE REGIME IN THE PARLIAMENT."
June 23 2014
When the Republican Party passed the law on "Funded Pensions", it was
followed by a press conference by the Quartet, where the NA ANC faction
leader Levon Zurabyan said that the Republican Party sets a goal to
pass specific laws at any cost. After the press conference, Aravot.am
asked Levon Zurabyan that it appears that the Republican Party at
all costs, no matter by apprehending its MPs, through violations,
or else, passes the laws that it wants, in this case what the sense
is to work with them and seek ties for cooperation. The ANC faction
leader responded, "We have no task of seeking cooperation. We are
facing the following problem: to get rid of this government.
Therefore, we must use all the levers in our hands. The most key
lever, which is in the hands of the people, is his presence in the
Freedom square. It is the key lever, but we have a parliamentary lever,
which is very important, we need to fight in the parliament to reveal
their illegalities to create an appropriate public approach, a public
opinion, which will enable to create an extensive public process. I
have always said that we can achieve the goal if we combine the active
parliamentary actions: war against the regime in the parliament, with
the people's activeness in the Square. As soon as we reach it, and we
are working in that direction, the power will be inevitable." To our
question of whether these delays, from April to autumn, do not diminish
the probability of achieving the results, Levon Zurabyan responded,
"The Congress supported in acting very quickly, and we have talked a
lot about it. But we are facing the dilemma, either we were to act
separate and quickly, or at a later date, together. We chose the
strategy of a later date, but together, because, in our opinion,
it can provide more efficiency than if done alone. Otherwise, we
were able to be quickly isolated, as they did it in 2011, during the
all-day rallies."
