The way chosen by the opposition is unfavorable for the opposition
first of all, the leader of the ‘European integration’ organization,
Karen Bekaryan, said at today’s press-conference when commenting on
refusal of the Armenian National Congress [ANC] of their mandates in
the Elders’ Council of Yerevan.
‘The ANC had an opportunity to express its point of view regarding
different problems and phenomena in the capital city. I understand that
rallies near Matenadaran also give such an opportunity, but having
mandates got as a result of the Yerevan Elders’ Council election on
31 May the opposition had a chance to express its position in more
than civilized way’, – Bekaryan said. He thinks if representatives
if the ANC took part in the work of the Elders’ Council, they could
contradict negative processes not postfactum but directly when they
were developing. ‘Using their resources in such a way the opposition
would found itself marginalized, and the society would escape of the
stress which it is staying in’, – he concluded.
