Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) should declare itself opposition, ex-foreign minister of Armenia, parliamentarian from PAP Vartan Oskanian wrote on his Facebook page.
"I am sure that the country, the political system and the citizens will gain from that. PAP has undertaken the role of opposition without declaring itself as such. Consequently, before the autumn session of the Parliament, PAP should change its status and declare itself an oppositional party," Oskanian wrote. He thinks that the political monopoly is the key reason of the heavy situation Armenia has faced.
"Liquidation of that monopoly and creation of counterbalances in various power branches has become the pledge of cooperation of the non-governmental forces. Taking power in Yerevan, we will make the first important step towards creation of the mechanism of counterbalances in the political system, otherwise democracy and economic development is impossible," the parliamentarian wrote.
