SHAVARSH KOCHARYAN ACCUSES THE OPPOSITION

On March 21 Shavarsh Kocharyan, the leader of the National Democratic
Party, half-member of the alliance Ardarutiun, tried to deal several
blows to the opposition, accusing his former colleagues of what they
had accused Shavarsh Kocharyan.
The MP announced that the agreement of the forces of the National
Assembly over the reform of the Electoral Code is imitation of
an agreement, aimed to show off solidarity to Europe and do what
Lukashenko did in Belarus, says Shavarsh Kocharyan. “I wonder how the
opposition could wink an eye on the lack of a 100 per cent proportional
system of election. Whereas, all of us know that electoral fraud is
mainly due to a majority electoral system,” says Shavarsh Kocharyan.
He also wonders why the opposition agreed to the changes to the
Electoral Code but did not claim to places in the leadership of
electoral commissions. ” The bulk of electoral fraud happens with
the tacit or active connivance of the leadership of the electoral
commissions,” says the leader of the National Democratic Party to
his former fellow oppositionists. He completed his offensive in black
shades with accusing the opposition of a lack of political will.
Shavarsh Kocharyan certainly covered this blow with a similar
accusation against the government. Kocharyan thinks the government
should display a political will to hold fair elections, and the
opposition to exercise control.
