"Armenia's opposition is preparing for the parliamentary elections
of 2012," Armenia's former Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanian said
November 3.
The opposition demands resignation of the president, rather than
dissolution of the parliament. Mr. Arzumanian explains the opposition's
demand by the acting Constitution: either the president disbands the
parliament or the parliament takes a decision of resignation.
"I do not think that our parliament which consists of half-criminal
elements will demonstrate high political consciousness to dissolve
itself."
The former FM stressed that the opposition should name a united
candidate in the next elections otherwise "we shall witness the
repetition of 2007 when the opposition took only 21% of votes."
With regard to the amendments to the Electoral Code, Alexander
Arzumanian said, "To conduct free and fair elections in the country
we need to demonstrate political willpower."
All political prisoners will be released and internal problems of
Armenia will be solved only in case Serzh Sargsyan resigns and free
and fair elections are held in the country," he concluded.
