Disgusting.
Shame!With this criminals?
I am disappointed by this announcement. What benefit is this to the Armenian people. The
Republican Party does not need the ARF to govern. It seems the ARF is anticipating a
windfall of influence with the Karapetyan government. In my view , the ARF and Armenia
would be better served by establishing a legitimate opposition process in order to
accelerate the growth of Armenian democracy. I have always felt the ARF is at its best
focused on more populist efforts….. some examples are it’s exemplary efforts in building the
diaspora, its support of the Artsakh liberation and its platforms. Getting aligned as
a minor coalition partner limits their effectiveness. It never seems clear how Prosperous
Armenia will use its 25% , but Armenia needs a loyal opposition to mature its democracy.
