President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan is not going to meet with the
leader of the Heritage party Raffi Hovannisian at Liberty Square. The
latter has been in a hunger strike since 10 March, the head of the RPA
parliamentary faction, Galust Sahakyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
He said that the Liberty Square is not the place where political
problems should be resolved. "For this reason, I think that President
Serzh Sargsyan will hardly meet the leader of the Heritage party at
the Liberty Square, as the schedule of the head of state is rather
thick. Although I do not rule out that out of courtesy Sargsyan may
visit the politician in a hunger strike", - Sahakyan said.
When commenting on Hovannisian's decision on 17 March to start public
discussions on formation of a new government, Sahakyan said that he
does not seriously treat such an idea. Moreover, he is confident that
it is high time for Hovannisian and other oppositionists to form an
institutional opposition with a strict agenda and political stance.
"Our country really needs such an opposition", - Sahakyan added.
Yesterday speaker of the parliament Hovik Abrahamyan visited Raffi
Hovannisian at the Liberty Square. He told journalists that the
authorities are ready to make reasonable compromises for settlement of
the available problems without any incidents. At the same time, he
added that the opposition's suggestion to hold second round of the
presidential election and to dissolve the parliament cannot be
accepted by the authorities.
