Armenia
YEREVAN. - The dialogue between oppositional Armenian National Congress
(ANC) and authorities was in an ideal stage, former member of the
Karabakh committee Ashot Manucharyan told at a press conference
on Monday.
"The dialogue was stopped. The ANC has no time or opportunities. It is
either to head national uprising or to leave the politics. Apparently
it will choose the first, despite many supporters lost belief in ANC.
No matter in case, ANC starts national uprising again many people
will gather and even those who lost belief will again join the ANC,"
Manucharyan said.
In response to the question that U.S. was the initiator of the dialogue
between ANC and authorities, Manucharyan stated that Russia was the
one to stop the dialogue. It is based on the fact that there is an
implicit agreement between the U.S. and Russia. According to it,
Russia still leads post Soviet Union states. Russia took the start
of the dialogue as infringement of its rights and diminution of its
influence. Thus, it insisted on stopping it.
The expert believes that the demand for the ANC activist Tigran
Arakelyan to change the measure of restraint could not have served
to suspend the dialogue. Actually negotiations were run on how to
overcome the crisis. ANC demands snap elections and reestablishment of
the authority, which will lead to a new political situation. Armenian
authorities do not agree to change anything, reminds politician.
