YEREVAN. - Delegation of Armenian National Congress has no reason to
lie, a member of ANC delegation negotiating with authorities Vahan
Khachatryan to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
`Let them look back at how they fooled people for the last three
years. We have no reason to lie, we speak our deeds and we do what we
promise,' said Khachatryan.
He claims that ANC insists on holding early elections for the good of
the people and the country.
Asked to comment on the statement by the coordinator of the Armenian
National Congress Levon Zurabyan that the dialogue is suspended and
will not be resumed until Tigran Arakelyan is in custody, Vahagn
Khachatryan said that everything is said and there is nothing to
comment on.
At the same time the opposition member found it difficult to say what
will be the course of further events and whether the authorities will
meet the demands of ANC delegation.
"We are not their hostages, they should not arrest our young
supporters as it does not satisfy our - I stress - legal demands to
continue negotiating with them," concluded Khachatryan.
Earlier ANC gave the authorities 24 hours to `decide on the status of
Tigran Arakelyan' which already ran out. On Friday ANC suspended
participation in the 7th round of the authorities-opposition dialogue.
On Friday morning ANC rep. Samvel Abrahamyan came to the meeting,
saying ANC delegation considered it inexpedient to come to the
meeting. The general opinion is that ANC representative group did not
show up for the meeting because Tigran Arakelyan is still in
confinement.
