Chairman of the Democratic Homeland Party Petros Makeyan says the four non-governing parliamentary forces in Armenia are directed by the ‘managers of the ruling regime’-Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan. In reply to A1+’s question what will the opposition’s upcoming rally give people and why is the rally held on October 10, Mr Makeyan said he did not consider the choice of the date accidental. “On that day, Armenia is supposed to finalize its membership to the Customs Union and I think the rally will have the effect of the fifth column for the so-called opposition quartet,” he said. Speaking about Dashnaktsutyun’s decision not to participate in the rally, Mr Makeyan said it resembles ‘the behavior of a virgin who is coquetting with others.’ “Throughout its existence, Dashnaktsutyun has been playing ‘in the courts of the second and third presidents.’ What does it mean to have an ambassador in Germany or high-ranking officials in regional structures?” Mr Makeyan said adding that Dashnaks cannot act independently. “When they find it expedient they will join the opposition quartet again and then leave it, if they find it necessary. This approach is typical of them,” he continued.
