The Armenian Pan-National Movement party (APNM) has nothing to talk
about with the ruling authorities, APNM Board Chairman Aram Manukyan
told a press conference today.
Mr Manukyan's statement comes after the Secretary of Prosperous
Armenia (PA) party's parliamentary faction, Aram Safaryan, said
that the ruling parliamentary coalition will discuss the release of
political prisoners.
"The number one issue, i.e. the release of political prisoners, that
the authorities must resolve, has been raised for several times,
as well as in the speeches [former president] Levon Ter-Petrosyan
has delivered during the rallies," said he.
The next important issue, according, to Mr Manukyan, is the
organization of the investigation of the 10 deaths caused during
the March 1-2 events that followed the 2008 disputed presidential
elections in Armenia.
"Only after that can there be a topic of dialogue, i.e. handing
down the power or holding upcoming [meaning "early"] elections,"
said Mr Manukyan.
