April 18, 2014 | 10:35
YEREVAN. – The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) decided to
“send” the ARF Dashnaktsutyun and the Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law;
RLP) Parties to the opposition.
Opposition Democratic Motherland Party Chairman Petros Makeyan stated
the aforesaid in response to Armenian News-NEWS.am’s query as to why
these two parties decided not to form a coalition government with RPA.
“Now, the Republican Party has no need to form a coalition. They have
made the right political decision by pushing their partners toward
the oppositional field and bearing passing percentages [of votes] in
[the] 2017 [parliamentary elections] on the account of the opposition.
“If the constitutional reforms pass, [second President Robert]
Kocharyan and [incumbent President] Serzh Sargsyan will have control
over the entire domain,” Makeyan specifically said.
