Vigen Sargsyan: `The struggle on the square leads to marginalization'

Yerevan/Mediamax/. The head of Armenian President's Administration,
Vigen Sargsyan, said that the struggle on the square is a "path to
marginalization'.
Speaking on the air of ArmNews TV's Banadzev program on February 20,
Vigen Sargsyan said that `if the politician, who has over half a
million votes and a parliamentary faction decides to become a
marginal, I don't understand how he imagines the ending of the
political process.'
`At 2003 and 2008 elections, the watershed was very deep for the
defeated candidates, as they lacked any other platform but the square
for political activity. It's quite the opposite when you have a
parliamentary faction and hundreds of thousands of votes cast in your
favor. Politics is not only power, but an opposition whose
responsibility burden is as big as the government's. If there is no
such an approach, it means that our political cycle will be from one
election to another, and every time it will become a life-and-death
issue,' said Vigen Sargsyan.
