Yerevan, 5 June: By disputing the 2007 parliamentary election results
in the Constitutional Court [CC], the Armenian opposition disgraced
itself because four opposition forces, who have applied to the CC,
are not able to produce credible facts to back up their claims, Galust
Sahakyan, the leader of the Republican Party faction in parliament,
told a news conference today.
He thinks the claim will have a negative impact on the opposition
itself.
Speaking of the parliamentary election outcome, he said that the
success of the Heritage Party is due to the fact that people wished
to see new political forces that have not discredited themselves with
empty promises in the political arena.
"I have come to the conclusion that in the near future, 'sprouts of new
opposition' will appear in the political arena of Armenia," he said.
He also said that he finds it hard to say whether the Orinats Yerkir
result is a victory or a defeat in the parliamentary election.
The hearing on the claims of four opposition forces - the Orinats
Yerkir Party, the Republic Party, the New Times Party and the
Impeachment bloc - is under way in Armenia's Constitutional Court.
