MP from "Civil Contract": Opposition will not come to power with  constant speculation of Karabakh issue

ArmInfo.The current authorities of Armenia are well aware of their responsibility to the  country. This was stated on February 3 in the course of parliamentary  hearings organized by the opposition, MP from the ruling "Civil  Contract" faction Gurgen Arsenyan.

According to him, the threats from the opposition against the  authorities are incomprehensible. <Who are you to issue ultimatums?  The people have already issued a verdict against you. We are a  civilized government, which is well demonstrated in the elections. As  for the Lachin corridor, you have nothing to say about this, because  you have no proposals>, - said the MP from the government. He assured  that constant speculation on the Karabakh issue would not allow the  opposition to come to power. "Forget it, you will come to power only  if the Armenian people give you an appropriate mandate, this is the  only possibility, all other scenarios are excluded," Arsenyan said.

As for the steps being taken, as the MP noted, the current government  is responsible to the people, implementing the declared policy. He  noted that the opposition declares the fate of 120,000 residents of  Artsakh, but forgot about the fate of 3 million citizens of Armenia.  "The authorities in Armenia are responsible to both of them. It  provides for the interests of Armenia, the MP said, adding that the  settlement of the Armenian-Turkish relations also meets the interests  of Armenia. "Xenophobia is dangerous for our country.  Pseudo-patriotism is the most dangerous manifestation, but we will  continue to implement our policies, which you will not be able to  influence. A failed government will never return to the rails it  left.  What you are doing now is not in the interests of the country.  The same actions that you are guided by will lead to a new war>, -  said the MP from the party in power.

It should be noted that Arsenyan's speech was accompanied by constant  dissatisfied cries from the audience. Seyran Ohanyan, head of the  parliamentary faction "Armenia", who chaired the hearings, could  hardly restrain the emotions of the audience, which was mainly  represented by opposition figures.
