IF THE OPPOSITION COOPERATES WITH THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN, IT WILL DESERVE VERY NEGATIVE ASSESSMENTS, AN ARMENIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (ANC) MEMBER SAYS

According to the assessment of Petros Makeyan, the leader of the
Democratic Motherland Party, the opposition in Armenia doesn’t behave
appropriately in the political and social situation. “The opposition
mustn’t be engaged in the classic parliamentary activities, but
the task must be to support the opposition work in public – marches
and rallies. However, as we can see, they have stopped or perhaps,
frozen the struggle in public and they have activated the classic
activities in the parliament, which is unacceptable for our party. We
have said about that many times in the Congress political council,
but the common answer is that the opposition still continues the
classic parliamentary work,” Mr. Makeyan complained.

As for Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Karine Achemyan’s opinion
that the opposition had become constructive both with its work and its
proposals in the parliament and it could contribute to their efficient
joint work, Mr. Makeyan said, “The RPA says so, because it is in their
interest. They want to make an impression that everything is normal
in the country, the parliament is there, it functions, the Cabinet
and the President function, and there is no problem. That definition
is not casual – you see, the opposition also works constructively,
so everything is good. It is a definition preferable for them. The
opposition’s classic parliamentary work style is incomprehensible for
me. We have a precedent of cooperation with the government and we saw
how the government gained those dividends, which were needed for the
international community and then they pushed the opposition – in this
case, the Congress – out. If the opposition goes for cooperation with
the government that deceived, double-crossed it again, if it repeats
its mistake, it will deserve very negative assessments.”
