YEREVAN, November 13. /ARKA/. The Republican Party of Armenia will fail as opposition, just as it failed as ruling party, Tigran Avinyan, acting deputy prime minister of Armenia, told journalists on Tuesday. 

Commenting on the Armenian Republicans’ statement that their party intends to become a constructive opposition, he said that the party has already shown “its merits” while ruling the country. 

Avinyan said he sees no difference between the Republican Party of Armenia and other political forces. 

He also told journalists that he will race in the early parliamentary elections on the rating system in the second electoral constituency. 

All the members of our team will be race on the rating system as well.  

Avinyan said he sees no any serious rival to the My Step bloc – (its list is topped by Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan). 

In his words, there are various persons in the list and there are many who enjoy respect in the society. 

They are political and public activists as well as specialists in various areas. 

On April 23, Serzh Sargsyan resigned as prime minister after one month and one week in office amid widespread disaffection for him and his party. 

On May 8, Nikol Pashinyan was elected as prime minister. 

However, to dismiss the parliament Nikol Pashinyan had to resign and the parliament had to fail to elect him two times. Pashinyan resigned on October 16. 

The National Assembly failed to elect him two times and after that the parliament was dismissed and the snap parliamentary elections were scheduled for December 9. -0—
