DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF YOUTH PROGRESSIVE PARTY OF ARMENIA BLAMES
OPPOSITION FOR POPULISM

YEREVAN, AUGUST 21. ARMINFO. “Lately the Armenian opposition instead
of representing the interests of the population in the National
Assembly, is engaged in populism”. Deputy Chairman of the Youth
progressive party of Armenia Sargis Haroutunian expressed such an
opinion during the press conference today.

According to him, the aspiration of the opposition for the change of
the power has reached that the opposition deputies are ready even to
discredit the country abroad. At the same time Haroutunian reminded
that the opposition deputies of Armenia had left the hall in
demonstrative way during the speech of Armenia’s President Robert
Kocharian at PACE session. “The boycott of the activities of the
parliament by the opposition has resulted in that the electors already
do not trust it and require from the opposition deputies to return to
law-making activities”, deputy chairman of the Youth progressive party
said. However, the opposition prefers to communicate with its
electors during the rallies and demonstrations, he added.
