MP Gagik Melikyan, a member of the ruling Republican Party of
Armenia, said today that the proposed HAK blueprint for dialogue
was unacceptable.
"Now, dialogue seems to be a reality. But this doesn't mean that the
government has been weakened to the point that it will enter into
talks with just anyone and on their terms," stated MP Melikyan.
He said that only President Sargsyan's offer of dialogue with all
political movement was acceptable and that the government couldn't
entertain offers from individual forces.
"Over time, I believe this formula will also be acceptable for HAK
as well," said MP Melikyan
He said that HAK shouldn't hold its breath any expect a direct answer
from President Sargsyan.
Melikyan noted that there are other serious political opposition
forces out there besides HAK that are quite active and that don't
use threatening language when addressing the government.
The MP also dismissed HAK demands for snap elections and referred
to the statement of the Minister of Justice arguing that there is no
legal basis or political prerequisites for such a process.
