GAME TO 'CHECKMATE ARMENIA'S AUTHORITIES - OPPOSITION REP
TERT.AM
21:23 ~U 25.03.13
At an open civil forum in Freedom Square in Yerevan, conductor Vardan
Hakobyan stressed the importance of forums and all the other steps,
which must have a logical end.
"Every game has its end. We are not playing for the sake of the game,
but to checkmate Armenia's authorities," he said.
Although he welcomes the format of discussions, he is skeptical. "A
clever man can only be deceived one time."
He stressed the need for urgent institutional reforms.
"When we started this game with the authorities, we had not a glimpse
of hope for victory. How can we achieve constitutional reforms when
we have not a single chance to get parliament's decisions changed?" he
queried.
"Such dialogues may not produce results. But if issues involving the
country's population are on the agenda, I am for this way," he said.
"I have travelled round settlements and villages with Raffi
Hovannisian. People want changes, but changes in a peaceful way,"
Mr Safaryan said. Being absent from discussions does not at all mean
allowing President Serzh Sargsyan "to transform the conflict."
Armenia's population must be informed of the issues on the
Hovannisian-Sargsyan meeting agenda. This is the best way to high
results.
