ArmInfo. By promising to return to Parliament with its own agenda this September, the parliamentary opposition must mean bringing the "street" agenda into Parliament, Suren Surenyants, Chairman of the Political Council, Democratic Alternative party, said in an interview with ArmInfo.
"In other words, they will be demanding the premier's resignation in Parliament. However, the difference between the street and Parliament is that if you demand the premier's resignation, it implies not only shouting, but concrete steps, such as impeachment. But this opposition has no necessary potential," Mr Surenyants said.
The very fact of the opposition returning to Parliament a year after working there "with its own agenda" is rather absurd. Nothing less can be supposed in this context than "returned" Ishkhan Saghatekyan not any longer at the service of, for example, Robert Kocharyan.
By and large, there is no united parliamentary opposition as there is no parliamentary faction With Honor. And the Armenia bloc is so motley that it allows surprises to be expected this autumn, such as its disintegration. However, the expert does not see any prospects for opposition MPs' resignations.
"In any case, if the demands for Pashinyan's resignation will continue to be accompanied with such slogans as 'no Turkification', I do not see any special prospects for the re-organized parliamentary opposition. With 'street pressure' lacking, the Parliament will not adopt any statements or documents in favor of the renewed opposition agenda this September," Mr Surenyants said.
