ARF MP Artsvik Minasyan says the continuation of the HAK-authorities dialogue won't lead to a healthy political life. According to him, the society wants to "free itself from such phoniness" as soon as possible.
"The HAK and the authorities are simply trying to maintain their positions due to the current situation. The HAK and its leader are trying to keep a certain mass of people standing at the square so that they can show the authorities that they present the interests of a small group, and keeping certain tension within the society favors the authorities because it allows them to prevent the emergence of a stronger opposition pole that will be an opponent in the upcoming parliamentary elections," noted Artsvik Minasyan.
Minasyan says starting the dialogue was nonsensical and that freezing the dialogue due to an incomprehensible dispute goes to show that the authorities and the opposition are discussing an issue that has nothing to do with the people's real problems. According to Minasyan, the dialogue is not serious.
NA "Orinats Yerkir" (Country of Law) faction secretary Heghine Bisharyan says she is certain that the dialogue will restart. "However, we are approaching the pre-electoral periodi and each political team will use the podium to express its views and ideas," noted Bisharyan. According to her, fall will end, the New Year will come and there will only be months left until the subsequent parliamentary elections.
Unlike the coalition representatives, "Heritage" faction secretary Larisa Alaverdyan says the society will soon clarify its stance on this or that political force.
"Voters will make their decisions by looking at what the political parties have done in the past. I hope they will make the right decisions," said Alaverdyan.
As for the HAK-authorities dialogue, Alaverdyan says they are very ineffective. Alaverdyan noted that what Armenia needs today are snap structural reforms, including a change of the people's mindset.
HHK to have majority in 2012 NA
Chairman of the National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan today denied rumors claiming that he has the desire to become RA Prime Minister. Abrahamyan also said he wouldn't like to be head of the HHK central headquarters during the parliamentary elections either.
According to Abrahamyan, the HHK will form a majority in the future parlimaent, but fell short of saying how the HHK would participate in the elections.
"The coalition must discuss that issue. We will do whatever the three political parties find most efficient and favorable."
Touching upon the Wikileaks revelations about him, Hovik Abrahamyan advised "certain political figures talking behind the scenes" to remember that "there might come a day when their thoughts will be accessible to everyone."
