ARTASHES GEGHAMIAN SET TO BREAK BOYCOTT OF PARLIAMENT WORK

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 21, ARMENPRESS: One of the two major Armenian
opposition parties indicated last Saturday it is set to backpedal on
its promises to continue the boycott of the parliament. The deputy
chairman of the National Unity of Artashes Geghamian told a meeting
of its activists the party will show up in the parliament when it
starts debates on a number of “vital” issues.
Geghamian for his part denounced the other major opposition force,
the Ardarutyun alliance, led by Stepan Demirchian, for being jealous
of its attempts to rally the people. Geghamian’s deputy argued also
there is no a force in Armenia that could assume the governance of
the country and went as far as to accuse other opposition forces of
“executing the orders of the authorities.”
