The recent election of the National Assembly's speaker demonstrated
the parliamentary opposition's inability to have its say in political
processes, says Andrias Ghukasyan, a former presidential candidate.
Speaking to Tert.am, the politician noted that the political forces
insisting on the urgent need of systemic reforms in Armenia appeaed to
lack the necessary skills and talent to push ahead with ideas
preached.
`Those who were planning to take to the streets on April 28 together
with people and call for drastic reforms in our country voted in favor
of Galust Sahakyan that day. Hence the position declared and the steps
taken de facto contradict each another. This naturally testifies to a
political bargain behind the society's back. This is a classical
situation. We see the opposition forces unable to consistently follow
the programs declared,' he said.
