The ARF Dashnaktsutyun thinks it is pointless to form a new coalition
government in Armenia, the representative of the ARF Supreme Body
Armen Rustamyan told news reporters today. According to him, they
did not get any offers to form a coalition government and he thinks
there will hardly be any proposals.
Rustamyan thinks the new arrangement of forces in the parliament will
make participation in the coalition formal. The coalition government
should not be artificial, said the representative of the Supreme
Body. "We are against formal posts in the government."
Armen Rustamyan says the Republicans are majority and can form
government alone. On the other hand, Rustamyan said they have
gone a long way together with the Republicans and will continue
collaboration. It will continue in the frame of the arrangements with
the president reached earlier, the representative of the Supreme Body
of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun said.
The deputy speaker of the National Assembly, member of the
ARF Bureau Vahan Hovanisyan told ARKA that in this election the
pro-Russian opposition did not appear in the parliament. According
to Vahan Hovanisyan, as the deputy chair of the Armenian-Russian
Parliamentary Commission he has stated for a number of times there
are no pro-Russian moods but they did not believe him. Now it turns
out that the pro-Russian opposition is left out of the parliament;
instead, there will be two pro-Western forces in the parliament.
Vahan Hovanisyan says it is not accidental but the result of the
change in the public moods in Armenia.
For his part, he also said the votes of the opposition forces
altogether are 30 percent. "It is a lesson for everyone whose ambitions
hindered the unification of the opposition," said the member of the
ARF Bureau.
