YEREVAN, MAY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. As Shavarsh Kocharian, the Chairman of
the National Democratic Party (NDP), affirmed, Armenia cannot resist
regional challenges until the home political tension and public "split"
are liquidated. As Shavarsh Kocharian said at the May 29 press
conference, establishment of a dialogue between the authorities and
opposition is almost impossible, as the culture of disputing over
programs, ideas has not been formed in the country yet.
According to the NDP leader, opposition supporters do not have an
ideological basis or a "vision," either. They are only guided by
antipathy to the current authorities and sympathy to first President
Levon Ter-Petrosian’s personality. Being discontent with the activity
of the authorities, according to S. Kocharian, is natural, but people
having no vision finally turn into an instrument in the hands of some
political forces.
In response to an observation of one of the journalists that in
consequence of the authorities’ policy the current vision of the
oppositionists is entering Liberty Square and in responde to the
question of why, nevertheless the policemen do not permit people to
enter the above mentioned square, S. Kocharian said that there are many
questions at present. "Why the person, who led the country to this
situation, who was the architect of the current governmental system and
is not sorry for his acts, became the opposition leader?," the speaker
said.
As regards PACE Resolution N 1609, as S. Kocharian predicted, its
requirements will be fulfilled in Armenia partially, and the Armenian
delegation will not be deprived of vote in the Assembly.
