The dialogue between the opposition and the ruling coalition is a performance with a beautiful scenario, said People’s Party leader Tigran Karapetyan, while speaking to reporters in the Armenian capital on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to him, the opposition resolves the issue of its coming to power through this dialogue.<\/p>\n

“Basically, HHSh [Pan-Armenian National Movement] has to assume power \u2014 there’s no other issue. To become a part of government,” he said, adding that “HHSh’s aim is to get into parliament with a 10\u201312 person fraction [sic].”<\/p>\n

Weighing in on the Armenian National Congress’ (HAK) 15 demands<\/span><\/strong><\/a> put forth to the authorities on Mar. 1 of this year, which Karapetyan occasionally referred to as HAK’s declaration points, the People’s Party leader said:<\/p>\n

“In effect, we [are the ones who] have placed all the issues in the declaration as primary. HAK took 10\u201312 points from us, which it’s not pursuing.”<\/p>\n

To Karapetyan’s statement that “The people have been disappointed by all,” a reporter asked if they have been disappointed by him (Karapetyan) as well, but the party leader specified, “Let me tell you, they [the people] have been disappointed by HAK.”<\/p>\n

The people have been disappointed, in Karapetyan’s opinion, because they are waiting for resolute actions and no political force with principles exists in Armenia.<\/p>\n

Karapetyan assured the press that his National Front will become active at the end of September and he hasn’t ruled out the possibility that he himself might take “resolute action.”<\/p>\n

The party leader, however, excluded the possibility of forming an alliance with another political entity, noting that in Armenia’s political landscape, his team is the third force.<\/p>\n

Karapetyan also said that he will be running in the 2013 presidential elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
