Samvel Karapetyan, the leader of the “Strong Armenia” bloc, announces the process of consolidation of the opposition forces. He said that in an interview with a number of mass media editors, which will be published tomorrow, June 18.
“We made that mistake before the elections, many opposition forces, who maybe fought honestly, but overestimated their strength, we could not come to an agreement with many opposition forces, that’s why this consolidation is very important for our country and people,” Karapetyan said.
He believes that the opposition forces, for whom the country is dear, will respond to the offer and it will be possible to create a coalition of opposition forces at this post-election stage.
Samvel Karapetyan suggests forming a coordinating council, addressing the people in a live broadcast format, presenting the problems, assessing the situation, discussing possible steps and going in that direction.
