ArmInfo. Republic party leader Aram Sargsyan says in an interview with
ArmInfo.
He says that unlike New Times leader Aram Karapetyan who announced his
intention to run for president immediately after the parliamentary
elections without consulting with opposition forces, Republic party
believes that it needs contacts with opposition for the latter's
maximal consolidation. He says the public pins hope with presidential
election and expects real changes in the country since the parliament
has become a secondary body. Such situation in the country will not
change for at least 50 years and we have no right to lose this chance
to offer the public a real alternative to the incumbent authorities,
Aram Sargsyan says.
Asked to explain the joint organization of rallies at the end of the
last parliamentary election campaign with Impeachment bloc and New
Times party, the oppositionist says that in a situation when the
country is considered occupied from the political point of view, it is
not important who is Bolshevik and who is Menshevik, it is important to
unite to liberate the country from occupants. To put it more clearly,
it was not important how many votes would receive Republic, Impeachment
or New Times we worked to leave as little votes to the pro-government
and near-government parties as possible.
A. Sargsyan says if there is no political culture in the country and
political parties do not act in accordance with political principles,
they cannot unite on the basis of ideology. It remains for them to
unite for the common goal - fight against the regime.
