Yerevan (Yerkir) – Speaking to Radio Liberty on September 30, ARF
Bureau representative Hrant Margaryan said that President Serzh
Sargsyan has lost his possible support base.

"His authority is now wobbly, and I can’t tell how long it would last,"
Margaryan said. He said that Sargsyan had assured him earlier that a
public discussion would be held on the Armenian-Turkish relations,
but, Margaryan said, it never took place. He added that the people
are not going to tolerate this situation and that "a change of regime
is inevitable but I am not sure when."

Speaking about cooperation with other political forces, Margaryan
said that unification of national forces is critical. He vigorously
dismissed allegations that the cooperation between the Heritage party
and the ARF was planned by the authorities.

He added that even when in government, the ARF was never a force
attached to it, and as opposition, it will keep its own face as well.
