LPP LEADER: “ORINATS YERKIR” PARTY’S LEAVING THE RULING COALITION IS
RESULT OF GENOCIDE OF COUNTRY’S POLITICAL FIELD CARRIED OUT BY
AUTHORITIES

Yerevan, May 12. ArmInfo. The “Orinats Yerkir” party’s leaving the
Armenian ruling political coalition is a result of genocide of the
country’s political field carried out by the present authorities, the
leader of the Liberal-Progressive party Hovhannes Hovhannessyan told
ArmInfo correspondent. To be reminded, Hovhannessyan had been heading
the Parliament’s Constant Commission for Foreign Relations in
1999-2003.

According to Hovhannessyan, the “OY” party’s leaving the ruling
coalition is appropriate and expected. There was not a uniting idea in
the coalition except one of profit and money, Hovhannessyan
said. Having resigned, the Parliament speaker and the “OY” leader
Arthur Baghdasaryan made a right political step and all the members of
the “OY” faction, as well as the oppositional deputies have to lay
down the Parliament mandates together with him. This will create a
parliament crisis in the country, turning to a governmental one which
will cause serious internal political processes the country needs long
since, Hovhannessyan said.

Asked if the union or cooperation of the Liberal-Progressive party,
well-known by its westernized orientation, is possible with the same
westernized “Orinats Yerkir”, Hovhannessyan did not rule out
neither. However, he made a slip in speaking that the cooperation or
unification with the “OY” is possible only on the basis of a common
ideological platform. But it is ruled out on the basis of “common
money”, Hovhannessyan said.
