Hayk Babukhanyan: Armenian opposition is paralyzed
18:52 01/12/2012 » INTERVIEWS
The Armenian opposition is paralyzed: it has neither ideological nor
tactical program to run in the presidential elections and not to be
disgraced finally, chairman of Constitutional Law Union party Hayk
Babukhanyan told reporters in Yerevan.
Opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) has no ideas how to
improve the people’s condition, nor has it any explanation of how
people will benefit from the transition to a 100 percent proportional
election system and the parliamentary system of government, according
to Babukhanyan.
Hayk Babukhanyan thinks the opposition is unlikely to announce a
common candidate because they understand that their electorate is
insufficient for it.
`The opposition came across the problem of maintaining its presence in
the political arena. Even ANC is unable to nominate a candidate, let
alone unification of other candidates. The issue of whether or not the
opposition will announce a common candidate will not play a
significant role in the upcoming elections,’ Babukhanyan concluded.
