Armenia – Aug 16 2022

I dream of seeing Armenia's three former leaders (he means the first three presidents of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan – ed.) on the same platform within the framework of some initiative. Armen Ashotyan, deputy chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia, said this at the meeting with journalists today.

He said the need for such a public inquiry. Ashotyan said that people are waiting for the names of opposition leaders and Prime Minister candidates because the Armenian people like to be guided by personalities.

The oppositionist stressed the need to put ambitions aside and say a name uniting the people, especially since the opposition has a much stronger staff potential than the government.

"It is necessary to show determination and courage. The mechanisms are being discussed now. The existing jitters must not be projected onto intra-camp rancor. We are not in a position to look for the guilty. I call on the opposition to avoid the process of unleashing internal strife. Everyone knows that Pashinyan's (Armenian Prime Minister – ed.) rating is very low. But there is a need to mobilize political technologies," the RPA deputy chairman noted.

Ashotyan said that initiatives are expected by late summer or early fall, and expressed the RPA's readiness to stand alongside the forces and individuals who want to achieve the resignation of the government. "Zero ambition, zero frustration and a desire to fight is our formula. We are supporters of any healthy initiative aimed at the unity of society," he concluded.
