MP Hamlet Harutyunyan did not see any extraordinary novelty in the
opposition rally of March 1. During today’s press conference the
Deputy analyzed the domestic political situation, saying that the
opposition should understand that color revolutions are impossible
in Armenia. Mr. Harutyunyan sees absolutely no preconditions for a
revolution. Asked whether the public protest could serve as a basis
for a revolution, he said it’s one of the preconditions.

"Do you want strong criticizing speeches to be necessarily accompanied
by disorders? Do you know how faster our country would develop if we
had a health opposition? If we have a strong opposition, we will be
watchful, the authorities are always afraid of strong opposition,"
he said.

Today’s stance of the opposition is more acceptable to Hamlet
Harutyunyan. However, speaking about healthy opposition is too
early. The Deputy opposes the methodology of the opposition’s
activity. As for public protests, the Deputy assures his family also
felt the influence of the crisis.
