ArmInfo. If the ruling party intends to be guided in its future actions by the adopted program of the government, I am afraid that in the matter of confronting the  current and future challenges and threats, we will have to rely on  the Lord God. A similar opinion was expressed to ArmInfo by member of  the executive body of the social-democratic party "Citizen's  Decision" Hayk Sahakyan.

"The very process of discussing the government's 5-year program in  parliament turned into a tragicomedy, the participants of which  turned out to be quite worthy of each other. As for its content, in  my opinion, the program is divorced from reality, and there is simply  no solution to existing problems. Just look at the "reformed" Police,  which in fact continues to carry out the functions of oppressing  citizens and protecting the authorities from citizens. Or to the  National Security Service, whose officers continue to study in  Russia, which is generally nonsense, "he said.

Returning to the confrontation between the ruling party and the two  opposition factions in parliament, Sahakyan noted that in reality  these three forces perfectly cooperate in the direction of the  disappearance of Armenia as an independent state. And the same  parliamentary opposition also bears its share of responsibility for  the situation in the country, since it received a mandate of trust  from the people. In this light, the politician believes that it is  time for parliamentarians to leave each other's collars alone and  start looking for solutions, a way out of the situation. He also  believes that neither the opposition, nor the ruling force are  performing their own functions today.

Expressing his conviction that the opposition has leverage to  influence the situation, Sahakyan explained its inaction by the lack  of desire to solve the problems of society and the state. In his  opinion, the only tasks of the opposition are to paralyze the work of  the National Assembly, to destroy the authority of the "Civil  Contract" and Nikol Pashinyan personally. In which, in his opinion,  there is absolutely no need today.

"That is why these people do not voice proposals, do not look for a  way out of the situation and do not even criticize, in fact, the  government's program. They are simply trying to place all  responsibility on the government. Today everyone understands this. In  turn, the government, for example, the same Parliament Speaker Alen  Simonyan is doing everything to create tension in the parliament. And  he does it quite purposefully. While the ruling force and the  opposition are busy with internal squabbles, decisions are made in  Moscow and Baku instead of the Armenian parliament, "Sahakyan summed  up.
