The Armenian authorities and opposition have common objectives and
"common edges" of working together towards that objective, RA Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan declared at the 5th congress of the Heritage
Party on 11 July.
"I have not come to mention that there are issues on which we
have different views. I have come here to build bridges. Burning
the bridges is easy, constructing those is difficult," the Prime
Minister declared. In his words, the country needs strong constructive
opposition, since it is the guarantee of a strong society and a
strong state. "We are not afraid of criticism and daring suggestions,
we need those," he underlined.
According to Tigran Sargsyan, the common objective of the authorities
and the opposition is to see Armenia as a democratic, legal and
developed state.
"In the current political reality I suggest to lay the emphasis on
the points uniting us. Let’s not allow our objectives dissolve in the
noise of struggle. I hope my call will be correctly accepted. The doors
of cooperation are always open for you," the Prime Minister assured.
Currently the Heritage is the only opposition force in the
Parliament, which, according to Tigran Sargsyan, envisages additional
responsibility before the own electorate and the c ountry as a a whole.
