Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc leader, ex-president Levon Ter-Petrossian urged parliamentary opposition forces to continue cooperation, and vote against government-proposed bills and programs.

As he noted, the opposition may only join the majority in voting for national security-related draft laws.

At ANC rally, Ter-Petrossian spoke of a new political situation in Armenian parliament, noting that the National Assembly hasn’t had as many oppositional parliamentarians since 1999.

“If in 2012, 49 MPs voted against the government program, in 2007 there was no one to vote against, and only 3 MPs were opposed in 2008,” ANC leader said.
