YEREVAN. – The disputes among the opposition political forces of Armenia should not turn into a Black PR. 

Opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party National Assembly (NA) Faction leader, ARF Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan, who heads the party list for the upcoming capital city Yerevan Council election, stated the aforesaid during Friday’s NA briefings. 

“It is unpleasant that several politicians have forgotten the main objective and are attempting to get votes at the expense of others. I believe their expressions did not express the view of their parties,” Rustamyan said.  

In his words, competition among political forces does not stop when uniting, either, and this is natural. The whole point, however, is the correctness of that competition.   

“Even though we are speaking about a united [oppositional] front for a change in power, there may be disagreements among us, too. But it is one thing to speak about those differences, it is totally a different thing to ‘pour mud’ onto each other.  

“It remains to hope that such incidents do not cross the critical border and do not obstruct the uniting of non-government forces during the Yerevan Council elections,” Armen Rustamyan concluded.
