Makeyan: Four parliamentary forces controlled by authorities
The four non-government parliamentary forces are controlled by second Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and the current President Serzh Sargsyan, the leader of Democratic Fatherland Party Petros Makeyan, said at a meeting with reporters today.
“We should remember that Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) making part of the “four” was created by Robert Kocharyan. In parallel with it, BHK also serves Armenian National Congress. It is evident that Heritage Party is also under the auspices of Kocharyan. As regards ARF-Dashnaktsutyun, this party having a 100-year history behaves like a “virgin” and plays games with the authorities,” Makeyan said.
In his words, ruling elite is now waging a struggle in order to retain power, rather than to reform the system.
Makeyan declared he would not attend the joint rally of the three political forces on October 10.
“All the other members of the party are free to take their own decision,” he noted.
