Two major Armenian opposition parties on Monday effectively completed the break-up of a political alliance that was formed by them ahead of last May's parliamentary elections.
The Zharangutyun (Heritage) and Free Democrats parties said their joint 5-member faction in Armenia's 131-seat parliament will exist on only paper from now on.
The announcements came after weeks of scathing attacks launched by Zharangutyun on Khachatur Kokobelian, the Free Democrats chairman holding one of those parliament seats. Zharangutyun leader Raffi Hovannisian and his associates accuse Kokobelian of reneging on what they say was a pre-election agreement to resign from the new National Assembly and cede the seat to another member of their bloc.
