New opposition movement to be formed in Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian political field is under control of third forces which should be pushed away, according to Miatsum initiative leader Zhirayr Sefilyan.



"A new opposition movement will be formed in Armenia soon. It will unite the Armenian people and lead the national movement. Although it will be a non-partisan movement, representative of different parties can join it," Sefilyan told a news conference on Thursday.



As to cooperation with the Armenian National Congress, he said Miatsum is an independent structure. "We just fought on the same part of the battlefield," he said.



Sefilyan said that 15 years of collaboration with the other parties produced no result, since "no party can gain power under the current totalitarian regime."



"The goal of the movement will not be frustration of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation but formation of a regime of high moral standards," he concluded.
