MP: dialogue with opposition, rather than format important
June 18, 2011 - 14:26 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian President's June 17 statement proves that
the dialogue with the opposition goes on, according to Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group member.
As Hamlet Harutyunyan told a news conference in Yerevan, the statement
issued by the Armenian leader was very specific.
The parliamentarian stressed the importance of the dialogue itself
rather than its format, as ANC insists. `Also, dialogue does not have
to involve delegations,' the MP remarked.
On June 17, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan issued a statement
relating to a dialogue with the extra parliamentary opposition, urging
ANC to abandon ultimatums and resume political dialogue with the
authorities.
`If there are political forces, which have concrete and reasonable
proposals, we are ready to provide concrete solutions; If among the
numerous problems facing our people and our country the ANC is
interested exclusively in the elections, the Speaker of the National
Assembly is ready to personally receive the representatives of that
political body and hear them out. If, however, there are suggestions
aimed at the rise of our economy and solution of the social problems
existing in the country, then the Prime Minster personally will
receive them and discuss these issues. If there are issues which
command intervention by the President, the Head of the Presidential
Staff will receive them and discuss all issues.
However, if instead of negotiations, which are unacceptable, the
Armenian National Congress is genuinely ready to continue the dialogue
on the outline of the country's development, essential issues of the
country's foreign and internal policies and desires to do so through
the specially designated individuals, the representatives of the
Coalition parties can sit down at the negotiation table with them. The
Political Coalition is ready to conduct such discussions with all
political forces which possess concrete proposals,' the presidential
statement says.
