`OPPOSITION RESEMBLES A RIPEN PEAR'
[04:44 pm] 04 June, 2007
On June 4 the National Press Club hosted NA deputies who disputed on
parliamentarism.
`There hasn't been any heated discussion in the National Assembly
since 1998. All decisions have been made by button pressing,' says
Grigor Harutyunyan, the Secretary of the People's Party of Armenia.
ARF Dashnaktsutyun member Alvard Petrosyan reflected on the recent
skirmish in Gyumri and connected it with the present-day
parliamentarism.
`No one can say on which criteria state and government officials are
elected. I would like to see more literate people in the NA,' Alvard
Petrosyan said.
`If a whole nation is in search of oppositionalists it means the
country lacks real opposition. Like a ripen pear opposition betrays
its principles every now and then,' she said.
Freelance deputy Tatul Manaseryan avoids both pro-governmental and
oppositional forces as none of them can account for his adherence to
this or that field.
