    YEREVAN, AUGUST 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The only way out of the current
    internal political crisis in Armenia is to hold early parliamentary
    and presidential elections, leader of the newly-created Liberal
    Party of Armenia (LPA) Hovhannes Hovhannisian stated at the August
    13 press conference.

    He expressed confidence that the country's authorities headed by
    Serzh Sargsyan will manifest a political will in solution of internal
    political problems and will eventually agree to hold early elections:
    "Otherwise, it will turn out that they think more about extension of
    the period of their power rather than about the people and the future
    of the country."

    In the opinion of H. Hovhannisian, September will be quite an active
    month from the political point of view. By his forecasts, it is
    expected that the opposition forces will become even more active and
    the outside pressure on the Armenian authorities will grow.

    H. Hovhannisian said that the LPA, which has already joined the
    Armenian National Congress, will - after its registration - become
    a full and equal member of this big political union.

    The LPA leader levelled heavy criticism at the Armenian authorities for
    the absence of any position on the issue of strained Russian-Georgian
    relations.

    In his words, in the current strained situation, Armenia should have
    offered its sevices of a mediator in the normalization of relations
    between its strategic partner Russia and the neighboring Georgia.
