YEREVAN, APRIL 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The dialogue between the authorities and
the radical opposition should be aimed at establishing coordinated game
rules in Armenia. Arman Melikian, a former RA presidential candidate,
expressed such an opinion at the April 2 press conference. According
to him, such rule games should be established for the power shift
not to become a space disaster for one of the sides. As A. Melikian
evaluated, the dialogue is compulsory and should take place, otherwise
there will be disastrous results in the near future. "This is the
duty of all political forces, including the authorities and radical
opposition," he said adding that holding of a dialogue is dictated
by public interest, and the latter should compel it to all sides.
If the authorities and the radical opposition keep their current
positions, A. Melikian considers probable creation of a third force
in the political sphere.
Touching upon the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh problem,
A. Melikian said that today Armenia should not immediately recognize
NKR's independence, but start the recognition process.
