Talk Talk: PM says government ready to work with opposition; opposition
says efforts are "imitations"
Deputy chairman of the opposition Heritage party Armen Martirosyan
thinks that next month the party will participate in the conference
called by the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) leader.
On Wednesday leader of the PAP Gagik Tsarukyan disseminated a statement
where he said that on January 20 he invited political forces, public
organizations, civil initiatives and movements to the event.
Earlier this week Tsarukyan's spokesperson said that the PAP leader
wants to hear opinions of different political forces and jointly
determine further steps "because vitally important issues will have
to be tackled".
On October 10 and 24 the PAP, the Armenian National Congress and
Heritage parties held rallies in Yerevan as part of what they described
as a popular movement. During those rallies calls for a change of
government were made. On December 10, International Human Rights Day,
the three parties also held a joint rally and a march.
Many think, however, the 'hot autumn' promised by the opposition
thus ended.
Addressing this issue on Thursday Armen Martirosyan told reporters:
"The perceptions of the hot autumn that existed did not come true,
because my expectation was a complete change of government, but if
we look at the political processes, it was indeed 'hot'. We had two
perfect rallies; we had the government's retreat and readiness to
discuss the 12 points."
Upon ArmeniaNow's request, the Heritage representative addressed
expectations from 2015 and predicted a difficult year for Armenia.
"Depending on the behavior of Russia, it will become clear whether
sanctions will go deeper or not, whether the oil price will go up or
down, whether the ruble exchange rate will rise or fall," Martirosyan
said, meaning Western sanctions imposed on Russia related over the
crisis in Ukraine.
"If Russia's social-economic state improves, it will positively impact
Armenia, if not - naturally it will have an adverse effect on Armenia,"
he concluded.
