“Yerevan residents have always backed opposition in the elections. However, this time, the election campaign has not been launched yet but the opposition has already disappointed voters,” Golos Armenii reports.

Indeed, the opposition did not seek unification, and the talks about possible negotiations between HAK, ARF and Heritage were just a means to avoide accusations about opposition’s inability to give up their personal ambitions and to unite against the authorities, says the paper.
