SADOYAN IS DISAPPOINTED WITH ELECTION OUTCOME
Today, controversial atmosphere reigned in the National Assembly: some party members congratulated each other on the victory; others avoided journalists and comforted each other saying that “Life continues. Not everything is gone!”
Gurgen Arsenyan, the leader of the United Labour Party, made an impressive speech. Arshak Sadoyan, the leader of the Alliance of National Democrats, was rather indignant and disappointed. He doesn't even hope that “the opposition will unite and struggle together.” Nevertheless, we have expressed our readiness to join in the united struggle.
“I think that the oppositional should unite and take serious measures before the presidential elections,” Arshak Sadoyan said.
