    SOCIETY DECIDES WHO IS OPPOSITION AND TO WHAT DEGREE

    Shavarsh Kocharyan, the leader of the National Democratic Party, was
    among the first who commented May 13 on the resignation of Speaker
    Arthur Baghdasaryan and secession of the Orinats Yerkir Party from the
    coalition.He stated at the Azdak Club that he had predicted this
    political divorce two years ago.

    Shavarsh Kocharyan says having such big political ambitions the leader
    of the Orinats Yerkir Party could not stay in the government because
    no place had been foreseen for him in the first three positions.

    `In the context of the upcoming election, there should obviously be a
    package solution: president, prime minister, speaker. It is obvious
    that pretenders are many, and Arthur Baghdasaryan was not one of them,
    and realizing this and having serious political ambitions, Orinats
    Yerkir either had to accept a lower position and to lower their
    ambitions, or become opposition with big ambitions,' says Shavarsh
    Kocharyan.

    According to Shavarsh Kocharyan, it does not matter what place Orinats
    Yerkir will have in the opposition, or how the other opposition forces
    will accept it. He says the attitude and evaluation of the people and
    society will be more important and deciding. Shavarsh Kocharyan says
    the assessment of the government by Orinats Yerkir and its
    self-assessment for the years in government is also very
    important. The leader of the National Democratic Party believes that
    similar statements are not enough to become opposition, therefore
    Shavarsh Kocharyan advises to wait for the future actions of Orinats
    Yerkir.

    He does not exclude that Arthur Baghdasaryan's step was a result of
    agreement with the government. However, Shavarsh Kocharyan does not
    insiston it either. He considers the step of Orinats Yerkir
    inevitable, because this political party has big ambitions.
