Ideas for Unity: Dashnaks want parliamentary system and control levers for opposition

In the nearest future the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF, Dashnaktsutyun) will be trying to unite the Armenian opposition around two main ideas – transfer from the presidential to parliamentary form of government and providing the opposition with levers of control over the authorities.

As the newly-elected representative of the ARF Executive Council of Armenia Armen Rustamyan told the media on Tuesday, it is through these two ideas that a complete change of power can be achieved in Armenia.

"We have to switch to the parliamentary system in order to get rid of this hyper-centralization, when there is no differentiation among party and authorities and state. And in order for all this not to stay on paper only, the opposition has to be given the levers of control over the authorities, since the opposition is the main force that can counterweigh against the authorities; unfortunately the opposition does not possess that power today", said Rustamyan.
