YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 24, ARMENPRESS. Levon Zurabyan, Member of Parliament of the ANC faction, explained why they failed to create a unified opposition bloc ahead of the parliamentary election, which could have been an alternative to the leadership.

Zurabyan told reporters on February 24 that first of all, for some reasons the center didn’t exists over which the opposition field could have had united.

 “However in any case we responded positively to proposals of political forces on creating a united opposition bloc. We received proposals from the Heritage Party, other political forces, and despite the fact we had suspicion over this opportunity, we agreed to begin talks for forming a wide opposition alliance”, Zurabyan said.

He added, after that separate negotiations in the opposition field began, as result of which several small alliances were formed. “In this case, it was already clear for us that it is impossible to form a wide alliance, and we made a decision to run in the election with an alliance with the Democratic Party”, he said, adding the small alliances can’t bring to life their goals, which could have been done in case of a wide consolidation of the opposition field.
