A new party is currently being set up amid the tense political
situation in the country. The party is to restore people's trust in
the authorities, the leader of the Democracy and Peace Party, Spartak
Melikyan, said at the party's founding congress today.
He said that the opposition should stop demands of the incumbent
president's resignation, as one should resort to this step only in
case of emergency. At the same time, the party leader condemned the
authorities actions to disperse opposition rallies. Melikyan noted
that if relevant conditions were not created for the development of
small and medium-sized businesses in the country, the party was ready
to side with the opposition.
