YEREVAN, APRIL 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The opposition forces taking part
in the forthcoming parliamentary elections cannot counteract to
power levers on their own. As Paruyr Hayrikian, leader of National
Self-Determination Union, not taking part in the elections stated
on April 10 at the Urbat (Friday) club, everybody realizes this with
the exception of some "super-happy ones."
In his words, opposition’s hope to change something will die away
soon when the opposition is no better off than at the start. As
P. Hayrikian affirmed, parties not having a possibility to get over 5%
barrier of votes can come to agreement on making appeal for renouncing
the electoral struggle and giving their votes to opposition parties
having a possibility to pass. And some responsibility should be also
reserved for forces having come out of electoral struggle in the
staff of the government to be formed in case of opposition’s victory.
He also said that as long as the council coordinating opposition
forces is not created, the National Self-Determination Union does not
officially support any party, but "to some extent it has given freedom"
to its territorial structures permitting the members of the latters
to promote activity as individuals, but not on behalf of the party.
P. Hayrikian also declared that the main force interested in forcing
the National Self-Determination Union out of active politics is
RPA. He blamed the latter for being engaged in political pillage,
in particular, for proclaiming RPA, the "son," during the lifetime
of the "parent," National Self-Determination Union, as inheritor of
conservative wing of the National United Party, while, "the hiding
wing" of National United Party is represented in RPA.
"RPA has chosen the most vicious way blamed by the fate and RPA
as a force bearing ideology, which yesterday was tseghakron and
today pseudo-conservative, did not do and cannot do a good thing,"
P. Hayrikian stated.
