ArmInfo. "To attain productivity in the opposition’s consultations,
it is necessary to make a detailed situation analysis, to reveal
the reasons the opposition’s rating sharply falls and to come to a
conclusion", the Leader of the National-Democratic Party Shavarsh
Kocharian said. According to him, it is necessary to do real role
assessment and real assessment of the place of the president’s post
in conditions when the real power is in the hands of the majority in
the parliament. It is for understanding one’s position concerning the
above-mentioned problems, the politician participated in the meeting
of the leaders a number of opposition forces in Hotel Congress on 28
August. Asked if the consultations coordinated by Paruyr Hayrikyan
can be the authority’s next project aimed at splitting the opposition,
he noted "I don’t want to guess why these meetings are initiated and
to give evaluation.

I must only regretfully state that there is no opposition leader in
Armenia, who wasn’t in due course accused of being connected with
the authority. So, in this context the whole political field is in
equal conditions". Speaking about his party’s plans on the threshold
of the presidential election campaign, Shavarsh Kocharian emphasized
that the National Democratic Party doesn’t intend to nominate its
candidature. "If it is necessary to support the nomination of a unitary
candidate from the opposition, there will be no pretendant from our
side. Among the participants in the latest meeting, the National
Democratic Party was the only one that openly declared about it",
Sh. Kocharian said.
