YEREVAN, JANUARY 8, NOYAN TAPAN. "The year of 2006 was very passive
for the opposition, it was not able to undertake anything, incorrect
estimation of the refendum on the constitutional amednments in
2005 influenced on breaking of the opposition," Lieutenant General
Vagharshak Haroutiunian, the Co-Chairmen of the "National Re-Birth"
party, Ex-Minister of Defence of Armenia mentioned it in the interview
to the Noyan Tapan correspondent.
At the same time, in his words, the passed year was a year of active
work for the Armenian authorities on the threshold of the parliamentary
elections, particularly, new political forces were formed.
As for possible inner-political developments in 2007, Vagharshak
Haroutiunian stated that it is naive to hope for possibility of
holding just and transparent parliamentary elections as there is no
pre-condition for it.
Particularly, the ruling administration, understanding that the
overwhelming majority of the population, because of its too difficult
social position, will not vote for the authorities, will hardly
undertake just and transparent elections. In the Ex-Minister's opinion,
everything will depend on the issue if the opposition will be able to
unite on the threshold of the elections for the National Assembly in
the spring of the current year. Otherwise, the voters will again and
more than in the past be disappointed in the opposition's incapacity
to correct the existing situation.
