Armenia
YEREVAN. - The dialogue between Armenian authorities and oppositional
Armenian National Congress (ANC) will not be decisive, said member of
Hunchakian party Vahan Shirkhanyan to a press conference on Thursday.
According to him, the dialogue itself is worth to be appreciated,
since authorities and opposition sit together around one table, however
Shirkhanyan does don expect practical results from the dialogue.
"The dialogue does not touch upon social problems, while those are
the vocal problems of present time," he said.
Shirkhanyan argues that the core of these discussions is early
elections, while early election would mean a change in leadership
rather than the system change.
"Take the economy, for example, the World Bank recurrently dictates us
what to do. If we change the leadership, even through early elections,
will anything change? The new officials would keep the same track
and the overall situation will persist. We must change the system,"
concluded Shirkhanyan.
