    TER-PETROSYAN CANNOT MARGINALIZE ANYONE - OPPOSITION MP

    Tert.am
    03.08.11

    A political party cannot be forced out of the political arena unless
    it wishes so, says an opposition MP.

    "No one can push a political force out unless that force itself
    chooses a long-term inaction. Levon Ter-Petrosyan cannot marginalize
    anyone," Stepan Safaryan of the opposition Heritage party faction in
    parliament told Tert.am, commenting a recent statement by Armenia's
    first president and the leader of the opposition Armenian National
    Congress (ANC), Levon Ter-Petrosyan.

    Speaking at the ANC's rally on Tuesday Ter-Petrosyan referred to the
    current dialogue between the opposition and the authorities, saying
    that the ANC and the ruling coalition are the only parties involved
    in the process.

    "The dialogue is being held between Armenia's chief political forces -
    the coalition government and the Armenian National Congress, the former
    being aware of the country's security, defense, economic, financial,
    administrative and propaganda resources and the latter enjoying support
    by large masses of people. So the elements not influencing political
    processes should blame only themselves for not being involved in the
    dialogue," the ex-president had said.

    Commenting on the above statement Safaryan said their party works
    actively every day.

    "I would like very much our political forces to speak on behalf of
    their supporters. The majority of the people do not represent either
    the authorities or the ANC. They maximum represent the [officials]
    they elect. And those people do not make up a majority," he added.
