The leader of the Heritage opposition party, Armenian ex-foreign
minister Raffi Ovannisian sad he is not giving up in trying to arrange
a meeting between the country's president, Serzh Sargsian, and the
opposition leader, former Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosian.
"Talks between Armenian President Serzh Sargsian and ex-president
Levon Ter-Petrosian will become one of the ways of resolving the
crisis in Armenia," Ovannisian told a press conference on Wednesday.
"I am ready to continue efforts to organize such a meeting, however
it remains up to them, and they themselves must want to hold such a
meeting," he said.
Earlier Ovannisian tried to organize the meeting between Sargsian and
Ter-Petrosian by sending them letters. The response came only from
the ex-president who said he was ready for a meeting. No answer was
received from Sargsian.
The Armenian opposition rejects the results of the presidential
election held on February 19. Ter-Petrosian's supporters are going to
bring the case before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
