Armenia is on the brink of losing its independence and statehood, claims Artur Vanetsyan, head of the opposition With Honor faction and Homeland Party, in the meantime stating he and his team are doing everything possible to stop this process.

"Today we have MP mandates and the parliament as our main toolkit, tomorrow the priorities in this toolkit may be different. I understand that there is broad popular discontent with the opposition and some of our compatriots are waiting for us to take more decisive steps. But I want us to objectively assess our capabilities today," he said in an interview to the Zhoghovurd daily on Friday.

“We have not forgotten our mission, we are using all the means at our disposal,” Vanetsyan said.

The lawmaker stressed the need for an extensive dialogue within society.

"What are we striving for now as a society, as a people?  We need to understand it and shape our vision for the future. Then it will be easier to choose the methods of achieving this goal. I can say on behalf of myself and my team that we will not give up and will continue to fight," Vanetsyan noted.
