Shavarsh Kocharyan, MP, Leader of the National- Democratic party
of Armenia, called the native opposition for unification before
parliamentary elections, Wednesday.
Speaking at a press conference, he said that the authorities will
try to hold the elections on their own scenario to achieve their
reelection. In this situation, the opposition must come out with
a united front at the elections. A single program and not a single
proportional ticket is in question. The opposition must take advantage
of this chance, otherwise it can be replaced by criminals who are
bored with serving the authorities, Shavarsh Kocharyan said.
He added that the National Democratic Party will come out as
an alternative to the authorities alone if the opposition does
not support its call. However, there is something indisputable:
Armenia has entered the phase of reforms and we should achieve a
final transition from dictatorship to democracy, he said.
