YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. "OYP’s current task is clear – to apply
to the Constitutional Court with facts proving falsification of the
parliamentary elections results and to achieve revoting," Chairman
of Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) Party Artur Baghdasarian stated
at the May 16 press conference. He called all parties having such
facts for providing them to OYP promising to protect the interests
of these parties, too, at the court.
In A. Baghdasarian’s words, the opposition even without uniting
received in total 450 thousand votes as a result of the elections
held with many falsifications and violations, which can be a basis for
oppositionists’ consolidation. He said that an OYP representative will
take part in the May 18 rally of Impeachment bloc, Hanrapetutiun and
Nor Zhamanakner parties and will call for struggling in a civilized
way, through the Constitution.
In response to the question of a journalist, how he treats RPA Board
Chairman Serge Sargsian’s proposal to form government of national
consent, A. Baghdasarian said: "We are opposition, we do not want
even to reason in connection with such proposal." He added that OYP
will not renounce the deputy mandates it received, as "boycott is
not an effective way of political struggle."
