Yerevan, 13 May: Armenia's united opposition today refused
to participate in the negotiations with the ruling coalition
and independent parliamentary factions due to the fact that "the
authorities have not taken effective steps to meet the main demand" of
the opposition, or to be more precise, "to overcome the situation that
has developed in the country since the 2003 presidential elections",
the Justice bloc and the National Unity Party said in a statement
approved in Yerevan today.
A member of the Justice bloc, Shavarsh Kocharyan, told a press
conference in Yerevan today that the opposition was ready to discuss
all issues with the coalition, but only after the consideration of
the opposition's main demand.
The secretary of the Justice bloc, Viktor Dallakyan, told journalists
that at a rally scheduled 14 May, the opposition is planning to demand
that President Robert Kocharyan resign and answer "who is to blame for
the failure of the dialogue between the opposition and the coalition".
