`ARF IS OPPOSITION IN THE AUTHORITIES'
[07:04 pm] 02 June, 2006
`Kocharyan displayed himself worse than we expected,' said Hayk
Baboukhanyan, member of the Constitutional Right Union who was a guest
of the club «Mirror». In the second round of the 1998 elections he
supported the present authorities but today is against them. «The
present authorities are illegal, they came to power shedding blood and
continue their illegal activity», the member of the Union explains the
change.
After the resignation of the OYP Hayk Baboukhanyan thinks that the
coalition continues to split up and the ARF has adopted the same
strategy as the OYP. According to him, what is surprising is that on
the one hand the ARF resembles the OYP, and on the other it has
adopted an oppositional attitude in the authorities. He predicts that
the ARF and the Republican party will have collisions. He also thinks
it possible that the OYP may join the opposition.
His opponent, former member of the Armenian Pan-National Movement
Karapet Roubinyan recalled the announcement by Robert Kocharyan that
the creation of the coalition is a new step in the political
development of Armenia. «Even if there are new phenomena, I never
noticed the good results they yielded. And the separation was rather
civilized thanks to mutual efforts», he said. He is convinced that
there were not serious disagreements between those who left the
coalition and those who remained. «In order to reach his aim Arthur
Baghdasaryan must resort to harsher measures».
By the way, Karapet Roubinyan is sure that whatever happens in this
country will be connected with the Armenian Pan-National Movement as
according to him they are the creators of both the good and the bad.
