Rule of the Law party’s withdrawal from coalition was a surprise for many people. It reminds of a show to many people, others believe that the Rule of the Law party abandoned the “sinking ship”, and that after the Rule of Law party’s leaving the coalition, Serzh Sargsyan had appeared in a difficult situation. Moreover, the Rule of Law not only withdrew from coalition, but began to speak against the government, against such initiatives, to which this political power was never against. Particularly, yesterday, after the Rule of Law political council session, the RoL party leader Heghine Bisharyan said that the reforms associated with funded pensions is a major challenge, emphasizing that they will assist the youth of “I am against” initiative, “We will support, don’t think about it. We have our own vision about the funded pension.” Aravot.am inquired from the publicist Karine Hakobyan about what the RoL’s motivation was – to leave the coalition, Mrs. Hakobyan responded, “Regardless of the incentives and motivations, and domestic kitchen, this move is applauded for Armenia’s political field, as the opposition automatically becomes stronger. They are forced to join the “I am against” movement, if you are not in the government, you have nothing else to do but to join this wing. Otherwise, you completely come out of the political arena.” To our question of how, for example, Rule of Law, ARF, “Heritage” and PAP, which have fundamental differences in ideology, can work in the same field, Mrs. Hakobyan responded as follows, “Today, number one problem is to strengthen the opposition. The opposition should be funded from the state budget, so that it is not dependent on personalities and businesses.” For comparison, Mrs. Hakobyan noted that the salary of the leader of opposition in UK equals to the prime minister’s salary. And noted that it was only a matter of wages, but the issue of significance.
