Gagik Minasyan, Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
parliamentary group, expects the dialogue between Armenia's ruling
coalition and the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC)
to continue.
"After the dialogue got under way, large sections of Armenia's society
began to hope that the political potential would be aimed at resolving
the problems," he said. Minasyan himself hoped the dialogue would
result in effective work.
"The atmosphere was most favorable, and I was inclined to think that
we were going to make some progress," Minasyan said.
According to him, the ANC-presented arguments for suspend the dialogue
are "beneath criticism." 'They used to state that the political and
legal aspects should not be mixed in Armenia. However, their present
statements run counter to the appeals they made to make people take
to the streets," he said.
One of these days, the ANC will clearly state if it will continue the
dialogue or not. "The discussions are of paramount importance. The
ANC has presented its own document dealing with snap elections. We
presented our counter-arguments, and further discussions were to
show the public which of the parties presented stronger arguments,"
Minasyan said.
"I think that our partners from the ANC must make a choice: either,
like traditional parties, they present their problems at rallies in a
constructive way or they decide for shocks as their means of leading
the country forward," Minasyan said. However, he added, it is not a
way to "nowhere."
