President Serzh Sarkisian could call fresh parliamentary elections soon in an effort to maximize his and his allies' chances of holding on to power, a leader of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) said on Wednesday.
Hrant Markarian, the de facto head of the party’s governing Bureau, also acknowledged that the rival Armenian National Congress (HAK) of former President Levon Ter-Petrosian remains the country’s leading opposition force.
“That is a reality,” Markarian told RFE/RL’s Armenian service in an interview. “The HAK plays the key opposition role.”
“But just as we didn’t allow anyone to look down and impose their will on us when we were in government, we won’t allow that to happen now,” he said, rejecting HAK leaders’ belief that everyone seeking government change in the country should join Ter-Petrosian’s bloc.
