YEREVAN, JUNE 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "Non-participation of Orinats Yerkir and
Zharangutiun opposition parties in the first session of newly elected
NA "is maybe in some respect a response to the pressures that different
opposition political forces not having passed to the parliament exerted
upon these two parties." NA Speaker, RPA Vice-Speaker Tigran Torosian
expressed such opinion on June 7, in his interview to journalists. In
his words, by not taking part in elections of ruling staff of NA during
the first session, the above mentioned two parliamentary forces will
be able to say to the extra-parliamentary forces that they "took a
step." He expressed the hope that Zharangutiun and OYP will overcome
all complexes and will come to the parliament in September.

NA Speaker also said that in the parliament of previous convocation
"the parties that chose illogical policy and did not take part
in parliament’s work are not represented at the parliament of next
convocation." "This means public attitude to such policy," NA Speaker
said meaning National Unity Party and Ardarutiun bloc representing
opposition at the parliament of previous convocation.
