RPA member calls on opposition forces to unite 

ArmInfo.Artak Zakaryan, a board member of the Republican Party of Armenia, calls on the opposition to unite and engage in street fighting.

On his Facebook page, the politician expressed confidence in his  desire to rid the country of the current authorities. "But you must  understand that this desire alone is not enough. Every citizen of  Armenia needs unity and street struggle even before the elections.  Otherwise, the Civil Contract will distort your wishes and will not  care about each of your votes. In order to preserve these votes and  implement them, broad unity and street struggle are necessary before  and after the elections. Recently, the ruling party was overly  concerned about a poll conducted by the American International  Republican Institute, in which, according to data I received, the  number of people who refused to participate in the survey was  extremely high.  Experts note that a certain segment of the  population usually refuses to participate in any given survey. In the  case of the latest poll in Armenia, this number was almost twice as  high as usual. The overwhelming majority of respondents refused to  speak at all. This indicates that people live in an atmosphere of  fear, disappointment, and uncertainty. People no longer harbor any  hope, and this is evidence that a significant portion of the  population is afraid, avoids, or considers it pointless to even  express their opinion in public opinion polls." "Artak Zakaryan  notes.

In this situation," he continued, "who can guarantee that a  government built on fraud and fueled by lies will tolerate the  contents of the ballot box after the homeland's capitulation?" "Who  is the naive oppositionist who, after eight years of catastrophes,  repression, political prisoners, and an atmosphere of hatred, is  ready to believe in an election victory? The path to victory lies  through a legitimate and united struggle for a vote of no confidence  in the prime minister. The State Duma, if it doesn't win the prime  minister's post, will have only 1.7% of the vote in the elections in  just 10 days. The picture in post-Soviet and Eastern European  countries is almost the same, but in Armenia it's even worse," notes  Artak Zakaryan.
