/PanARMENIAN.Net/ New Times party leader Aram Karapetyan said
he attends all opposition rallies, whether they are organized by
the Armenian National Congress or nonradical opposition. At that,
he doubts formation of Dashnaktsutyun-Heritage-ANC alliance, since
"artificial unions are not viable due to various goals the forces
have." Karapetyan divided the Armenian opposition into three types:
first, radical opposition; second, opposition which collaborates with
various forces dependently on circumstances and third, opposition
forces which are ‘doing business’.

Explaining this classification, he labeled Orinats Yerkir and ARF
Dashnaktsutyun as situational opposition. Marxist party leader
David Hakobyan and National Unity chairman Artashes Geghamyan are
representatives of ‘business opposition’, according to him.
