YEREVAN, MAY 23, NOYAN TAPAN. During the last three years, the “Orinats
Yerkir” (Country of Law) party, being a part of the Government, was
able to undertake at the Parliament the role of the opposing force
as well. Vram Gyulzadian, a member of the “OYK” faction stated about
it at the May 22 sitting of the National Assembly. According to him,
“being an opposition does not mean only to abuse the country President
and Defence Minister.” He expressed his astonishment on the occasion
that opposing forces of the Parliament “gives a hostile reception”
to the “Orinats Yerkir” party’s becoming opposition. “It seems we
came to this field to remove them.” “We have stated many times that we
have our way and that we must go in that way, we do not want to hamper
anybody and we do not need anybody’s salvation,” the “OYK” faction’s
representative stated. Gurgen Arsenian, the Chairman of the United
Labour Party mentioned on the same day in the interview to journalists
that the United Labour Party has never been opposing one. According to
him, during the 2003 presidential elections, the United Labour Party,
having supported Robert Kocharian’s candidature, critisized at the
Parliament the coalition’s activity, considering that it does not
assist implementation of Kocharian’s pre-electoral promises.
