    Armenian ruling coalition urges opposition to give up ultimatums

    YEREVAN

    Representatives of the political forces included in the ruling
    Armenian coalition have expressed their confidence that the
    authorities are in control of the situation in the country and that
    the opposition will not succeed in making the president resign.

    The leader of the Republican Party's parliamentary faction, Galust
    Saakyan, said today that the opposition's calls for civil disobedience
    are anti-constitutional and anti-state. He said the opposition's
    ultimatum-like demands undermine stability and jeopardize Armenia's
    national security.

    The deputy speaker of parliament and member of the bureau of the
    Armenian Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun [ARFD], Vahan
    Ovanesyan, said today that a dialogue with the opposition is
    "impossible" as long as the latter insists on an unconditional change
    of power. He expressed his readiness to discuss any issues if the
    opposition changes its stance.

    "Otherwise, it will be the opposition that will be responsible for any
    further developments," Ovanesyan said.
