YEREVAN, MARCH 26, ARMENPRESS: A parliament member from the governing
Republican Party said today his party will never agree to dissolution
of the current parliament as a way out of the current political
tension.
Speaking at a news conference Samvel Nikoyan said the Constitution
spells clearly out when the parliament can be dissolved. He questioned
the arguments that this may help to diffuse the tensions.
"I believe that after president-elect Serzh Sarkisian is inaugurated
on April 9, the situation in Armenia will change drastically and I
believe that the new government will be working hard to preclude what
we had seen following the presidential election," he said.
He also warned the government that it should have in mind that there
is a strong opposition in the country and because of it the authorities
should seek dialogue with it.
"Dialogue is desirable for people, for the state. I think we have to
differ those who would voice their discontent in Freedom Square from
those who called for toppling the government by force," he added.
Samvel Nikoyan also warned the authorities and the opposition against
trying to blame one another, saying the tragic events on March 1-2
were the defeat of the government and the opposition.
