When the Republican Party passed the law on “Funded Pensions”, it was followed by a press conference by the Quartet, where the NA ANC faction leader Levon Zurabyan said that the Republican Party sets a goal to pass specific laws at any cost.
After the press conference, Aravot.am asked Levon Zurabyan that it appears that the Republican Party at all costs, no matter by apprehending its MPs, through violations, or else, passes the laws that it wants, in this case what the sense is to work with them and seek ties for cooperation.
The ANC faction leader responded, “We have no task of seeking cooperation. We are facing the following problem: to get rid of this government. Therefore, we must use all the levers in our hands. The most key lever, which is in the hands of the people, is his presence in the Freedom square. It is the key lever, but we have a parliamentary lever, which is very important, we need to fight in the parliament to reveal their illegalities to create an appropriate public approach, a public opinion, which will enable to create an extensive public process. I have always said that we can achieve the goal if we combine the active parliamentary actions: war against the regime in the parliament, with the people’s activeness in the Square. As soon as we reach it, and we are working in that direction, the power will be inevitable.”
To our question of whether these delays, from April to autumn, do not diminish the probability of achieving the results, Levon Zurabyan responded, “The Congress supported in acting very quickly, and we have talked a lot about it. But we are facing the dilemma, either we were to act separate and quickly, or at a later date, together. We chose the strategy of a later date, but together, because, in our opinion, it can provide more efficiency than if done alone. Otherwise, we were able to be quickly isolated, as they did it in 2011, during the all-day rallies.”
