The secession of the Orinats Yerkir from the coalition marks the
end of the history of the ruling coalition. Oppositionist Member
of Parliament Hrant Khachatryan thus defined the situation in the
parliament on May 12 at the Pastark Club. However, he adds that the
history of coalition is not over for Armenia. In other words, we will
see other coalitions. As a result of scheduled or early elections.
Hrant Khachatryan does not exclude that the end of the coalition will
lead to an early election. The member of parliament even thinks that
the government may find an early election expedient because an early
election is held at a rather fast pace and allows solving a number of
problems by bringing together forces in a short period. Under these
circumstances, Hrant Khachatryan thinks that the opposition should
support the positive arguments of these developments and render the
negative arguments harmless.
“In other words, to keep the society alert, for it to be ready to
express its opinion during both scheduled and early elections. To
strengthen the political parties. You know that in the previous
elections both the government and opposition parties underwent
losses, both in terms of finance and human resources,” says Hrant
Khachatryan. According to him, under these circumstances the opposition
also needs to interpret these developments correctly.
Hrant Khachatryan says it is necessary to make profound analyses and
not to go in for surface observations, directing the slings and arrows
at one man. The leader of the Constitutional Right Union announces
that when Ter-Petrosyan was still in office, he criticized battling
a separate person, it is necessary to convey to the society that the
system is to blame.
