Robert Kocharyan, former president of Armenia, has supported a proposal for opposition parties to unite. This comes after previous calls for closer interaction among opposition forces prior to the June 7 parliamentary elections.
YEREVAN, June 19. /TASS/. Leader of the Armenia opposition bloc and former president of the republic (1998-2008) Robert Kocharyan has supported a proposal by Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the Strong Armenia bloc, to unite the Armenian opposition.
The former president noted that even prior to the June 7 parliamentary elections, his political force had called for closer interaction among the opposition.
"Let me recall that back then, other political forces sought to distance themselves from us, which I believe might be the right move at that point. And now, I think that we need to cooperate, and we have made statements on this matter. I believe this is in our common interests," he told Armenian media outlets when asked what he thinks about Karapetyan’s proposal.
