Vestnik Kavkaza, Russia

24 February 2015 - 4:14pm
Today the discussion on the draft declaration of the power crisis in
the country continued in the National Assembly of Armenia.
The draft was introduced by 'Prosperous Armenia', 'Heritage' and
the Armenian National Congress in October 2014. Faction leader Levon
Zurabyan, presenting the project, said that the government had admitted
failure in all areas of life -economic, social, domestic and foreign
policy. The sharpness of the discussion that followed revealed the
depth of the split not only between the government and the opposition,
but also among the opposition itself.
The co-authors of the draft statement, the PAP faction, boycotted
the session because of the "difficult and tense internal political
situation", and the press secretary of the Republican Party, Edward
Sharmazanov, accused them of an inability to "unite even their
partners." The Armenian National Congress's MP Nikol Pashinyan,
whose project of President Serzh Sargsyan's impeachment bill failed
yesterday, expressed confidence that the authorities in Armenia will
not be replaced for another 20 years in such circumstances.
The press secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Party, Tigran
Urikhanyan, told 'Vestnik Kavkaza' that the faction decided to skip
yesterday's session as a "manifestation of the political position,
including instruments to influence the situation, to which political
organizations often resort".
"A concrete step, a specific boycott, it is generally accepted in the
civilized world as a political tool, a method of reaction to what is
happening," Urikhanyan said.
According to him, "the political landscape which there is in the
country, requires, firstly, a reassessment of the situation."
"We must note that many things need to be revaluates, priorities
established according to the beliefs, the position, the policy and
the program provisions for which we stand. At the moment, 'Prosperous
Armenia' is developing a position and an action plan for the near
future, which will be appropriate to the current internal shuffling,"
Urikhanyan said, adding also that according to information about the
possible resignation of Gagik Tsarukyan, an official statement will
be made soon.
