Despite some claims that the dialogue is not progressing, the political
forces are conducting it, Galust Sahakyan, Chairman of the Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group, told journalists. The
dialogue is now going on by means of "squares and mass media."
A political dialogue does not imply one side proposing and the other
immediately accepting the proposal, he said.
According to Sahakyan, a political force that agrees to a dialogue
should realize that all of its demands would never be met.
The dialogue would be most beneficial for the opposition Armenian
National Congress (ANC). "It has brought them out of the political
mire rather than resolved the ruling coalition's problems. Never has
the coalition been reluctant to hold a dialogue with a political
force. They [ANC] attempted to enter the political arena and
participate in elections in a civilized manner," he said.
Also, the people needed the dialogue to "get involved in the political
life."
"If the ANC refuses to resume the talks, they will find themselves
outsiders again. The ANC grudgingly agreed to negotiate with the
authorities, but it did not agree to negotiate with the other political
forces. Because the ANC is 'holding the biggest guns,' come down to
earth with a bump!"
The authorities had stated no snap elections would be held in Armenia.
However, they are ready to discuss the issue because it may be
interesting to the public.
"As to me, I am not at all pleased to talk to those people because
I know who they are," Sahakyan said.
