YEREVAN. - President of the Swiss Confederation, OSCE
Chairperson-in-office Didier Burkhalter met with the representatives
of four non-coalition political forces and representatives of "I am
against" civil movement.
The representatives of Armenian National Congress (ANC), ARF
Dashnaktsutyun, Prosperous Armenia and Heritage parties participated
in the meeting.
Aram Manukyan, secretary of ANC parliamentary faction, said each
party presented their approaches to the existing challenges.
"Asked about main problems in Armenia, I noted deficit of confidence
in the Armenian authorities, both inside and outside the country. I
explained lack of confidence by failure of 4-year European association,
failure of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process and the process
that is ongoing in the Eurasian space," Manukyan said.
Among domestic challenges, the main problems are migration, distrust
of the Republican Party of Armenia and uncontrolled power of RPA. The
MP also said that the election was a dominant theme during the meeting.
"Transition to proportional election system was the issue touched
upon by Prosperous Armenia, ARF and Heritage representatives," he said.
Manukyan believes it was an informative meeting, Swiss president
did not respond to the issues, as the purpose of this meeting was to
listen to the representatives of opposition. The head of the Swiss
state was in the role of a listener.
