Opposition calls "Ohanyan-Raffi-Oskanyan" to refrain from criticism in their address
ArmInfo.Participating in the election race, the Armenian opposition forces call bloc "Raffi-Ohanian-Oskanian" to refrain from criticism in their address and to concentrate on their own activities and programs.
To note, recently the bloc leader ex-minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan and "shadow coordinator" of this political force, the former head of the Armed Forces of Nagorno Karabakh Samvel Babayan stated that the unit Ohanyan-Raffi-Oskanian is the only opposition force in the political field of Armenia, and the rest are lead by the authorities or intend to consolidate with the ruling Republican party after the elections.
In this regard, the head of the "Prosperous Armenia" Party (PAP) and the candidate from the bloc "Tsarukyan" Naira Zohrabyan in the comments to ArmInfo, expressed reliability that the statement by the ex-Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan is the result of negligence of the latter. In her oipinion, it is inappropriate to discuss such issues in the pre-election period, as the priority of every political force should be a representation of his election program, and not a criticism of other forces. "I am ready to resume the discussion on April 3rd, and now we do not intend to criticize any opposition force, because it will increase the chances of winning of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia", she said urging Ohanyan and all opposition politicians to follow the example of the bloc she represents.
In the opinion of the "Orinats Yerkir" Party (OE) head, and the candidate from the party "Armenian Renaissance", which includes the OE, Heghine Bisharyan, such statements are simply offensive. In this regard, she advised Ohanya not to act with unfounded statements against others, and to concentrate on their own programs and steps. "ARP leader Arthur Baghdasaryan is able to make independent decisions and not to act according to instructions of the authorities or any force", she assured.
In his turn, the candidate from the "Elk" bloc Mane Tandilyan said that Ohanian in his thoughts is in deep delusion, because unlike many other forces in the bloc she represents, all decisions are made as a result of discussions and consensus, rather than by the authorities order or any power. "With such unfounded statements can come up such politicians and parties who are controlled by other centers, the decisions of which are always dictated by others", she said.
Meanwhile, the head of the Armenian National Congress Party and candidate from the same force Levon Zurabyan considers Ohanian's and babayan's statement frivolous. In his opinion, the reforms in the electoral law of the state have created such a difficult situation for the government that it cannot carry out conspiracy methods. "Before making such statements, the authors should use their brains", he resumed.
