Republicans say “no” to opposition
During today's parliamentary briefing Heritage party MPs said they had returned to parliament with great elation and are determined to work actively.
Heritage member Armen Martirosyan went further saying said his fellow colleagues had missed them during their absence. A few minutes later Republican MP Galust Sahakyan disappointed Martirosyan saying, "We were so excited that we couldn't even applaud. We worked well even without Heritage."
Speaking about the suspended opposition-government dialogue, Sahakyan said, "Should our future depend on the dialogue, I would consider our political thinking bankrupt. Nothing will change if the dialogue is not continued."
Speaking at the previous opposition rally held on September 9, opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan gave the government a new deadline by October to call fresh elections or face a new wave of street protests. Commenting on Ter-Petrosyan's announcement Galust Sahakyan said, "We give them a definite "no" today."
Country of Law (OYK) Party MP Heghine Bisharyan excluded early elections adding that the OYK will name its candidate during the next elections.
Bisharyan also dispelled the rumors about the party's decreasing rating.
"The statement is already outdated. They could have said it two years ago, but not the party's reputation is growing," said offended Bisharyan.
