ARMENIAN PRIME MINISTER COMMENTS ON OPPOSITION’S ACTIVITY SAYS IN HIS
INTERVIEW TO THE ARMENIAN PUBLIC TELEVISION
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 25. ARMINFO. The native opposition has a change to
be in the parliament, but influenced by a moment, it has made a
decision to boycott the sittings of the National Assembly, hereby
becoming a hostage of its decision, Armenian Prime Minister Andranik
Margaryan says in his interview to the Armenian Public Television.
He says that if in April and May of 2004 the acts of the opposition
could be explained to some extent, its further steps were not clear
especially in 2005. Despite its steps to return to the parliament, the
opposition again advances preconditions and speaks with the other
political forces with ultimatums. Naturally, the political majority
represented in the parliament cannot allow such a manner of talks by
the opposition, the premier says.
The coalition parties have repeatedly called the opposition for a
civilized political struggle inside the parliament. The opposition
rejects, but it does not mea a parliamentary crisis. Of course, the
position of the opposition arouses some problems, but no crisis that
would necessitate dissolution of the parliament, Margaryan says. He
called representatives of the ruling coalition, the United Labor Party
and the deputy group “People’s Deputy” not to yield to provocations
and secure natural activity of the parliament in order that the
absence of the opposition did not affect the law-making activity of
the parliament.
