ANC leader speaks in defense of Prosperous ArmeniaJune 26, 2012 - 21:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc leader, ex-president Levon Ter-Petrossian spoke in defense of Prosperous Armenia, slamming those who dubbed the party as “fake opposition.” “Those skeptical of Prosperous Armenia cite the following arguments to prove their point : 1st, they believe the party backs ex-president Robert Kocharian and are threatened by the possibility of his return; 2nd, Prosperous Armenia didn’t announce itself an opposition, in line with parliamentary regulations, which I believe are absurd and have to be abolished.” “By doing so, the skeptics are trying to help current President Serzh Sargsyan in positioning himself as a lesser evil as compared to Kocharian, whose name is associated with March 1, 2008 events.” “The supposedly independent media and political forces are trying to push Prosperous Armenia back into Serzh Sargsyan’s arms, in an effort to again turn the party into RPA extension.” As ANC leader said, current authorities are using harsher means to pressure Prosperous Armenia, “yet, giving in to President Sargsyan would mean political death to Prosperous Armenia.” “Turning into an opposition as the only way out for Prosperous Armenia,” Ter-Petrossian noted, urging other political forces for help.
