PanARMENIAN.Net - There is no agreement on continuation of the
dialogue between the Armenian National Congress (ANC) and the ruling
coalition, an ANC spokesman said.
`The Congress could not contact David Harutyunyan, the head of the
coalition's delegation. However, a member of the Republican Party of
Armenia, Gagik Minasyan, promised assistance to settle the matter,'
Arman Musinyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
During the September 30 rally, Levon Ter-Petrossian announced
7-day-long round-the-clock protest actions. He said the
opposition-coalition dialogue will be resumed stating October 1, with
Manushak Petrosyan in charge with contacting presidential
administration.
Representatives of the ruling coalition have held meetings since July
18, the two main issues on the agenda being conduction of
extraordinary election (on ANC demand) and development of canons of
political competition (as suggested by the authorities).
Problems emerged when police detained 7 young ANC activists. According
to the ANC, on August 9 police officers used violence against ANC
activists Tigran Arakelyan and Artak Karapetyan. Upon arrival to the
site, activists Areg Gevorgyan, Sahak Muradyan, Vahagn Gevorgyan,
Sargis Gevorgyan and David Kirimajyan tried to settle the dispute but
were beaten as well, the ANC said. All above-mentioned were taken to a
police station.
Currently, Tigran Arakelyan is kept in custody. The others were released.
On August 26, the Congress announced that it suspends the dialogue and
believes Arakelyan to be a political prisoner.
