"Three opposition forces, People’s Party of Armenia, Republic, and
Alternative public-political initiative,
have already reached a preliminary agreement on the principles of
participation in the forthcoming presidential election," Nikol
Pashinyan, Leader of the Alternative initiative and Editor-in-Chief of
the Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper, said in his speech in the Liberty
Square, Friday.
According to him, the above-mentioned forces consider that a
single-whole candidate should run for President from the opposition, an
opposition front and a shadow government should be formed. The People’s
Party of Armenia, the Republic party and the Alternative movement are
also going to take measured to attract other parties of the opposition
camp to this process. N.Pashinyan noted that on July 6 these forces
will hold a joint rally to support the Radio Liberty. The Alternative
adherents also intend to meet in the Liberty Square to listen to the
Radio Liberty’s programs which are still rebroadcast on the frequency
of the Armenian Public Radio.
