    Hovhannes Hovhannisian: Using sanctions to Armenia would make
    authorities implement real reforms

    http://www.nt.am/news.php?shownews=101193 4

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenian opposition's goal was not
    using sanctions to RA: just being deprived of the vote would make the
    authorities implement real political and legal reforms. Hovhannes
    Hovhannisian, the Chairman of the Liberal Party of Armenia (LPA),
    expressed such an opinion at the February 6 press conference. According
    to his observation, the ruling regime has been doing its best to make
    imitations and to find "semi-solutions" to the political crisis instead
    of fulfilling PACE resolutions. The LPA leader predicted that the
    authorities will adopt the same policy with regard to Resolution N 1643.

    Touching upon PACE decision not to deprive the Armenian delegation of
    the vote and to give it time until April, H. Hovhannisian said that the
    authorities should pay some price for such a mild position. "Everything
    has its price, and it was not for our beautiful eyes that such a
    decision was made. And as our most important problem is Karabakh, our
    authorities will make concessions in the very issue," H. Hovhannisian
    predicted.

    The oppositionist classed as absurd the bill submitted for NA's
    discussion, according to which trials can be held without defendants.
    And the law's point being discussed, by which bailiffs are permitted to
    be armed in the court, according to the LPA leader, is very dangerous.

    Touching upon the Armenian-Russian relations, H. Hovhannisian said that
    they are not real friendly relations, but are based on Russia's
    interests. If Russia agrees to give a credit to Armenia for overcoming
    the economic crisis, it will demand something without fail. "Free
    cheese can be only in a trap," he said.
