/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The opposition described the PACE decision not
suspend Armenia's voting rights as a deal clinched between the
republic's authorities and European structures.
"These rumors are untrue," Eduard Sharmazanov, a member of parliament
and spokesman for the Republican Party of Armenia, told a news
conference in Yerevan today.
"The opposition claims that Armenia was compelled to certain
concessions in the Karabakh issue in exchange for maintenance of
voting rights. Circulating such rumors, the opposition demonstrates
how it works. Similar statements were made last year as well," he said.
"The opposition is well aware that suspension of voting rights would
limit Armenia's capabilities in the Karabakh process. Under the
circumstances, it's surprising that some people prefer their personal
ambitions to national interests," he added.
At the same time, Sharmazanov emphasized that the Armenian government
is open for dialogue with the opposition.
