"Declassify the road-map"
"It is necessary that the authorities declassify the so-called road-map," Leader of the People's Party of Armenia (HZhK) Stepan Demirtchyan told a press conference on April 27.
He reminded that the Armenian National Congress (hence Congress) agrees to the normalisation of issues without any preconditions. At the same time, the Congress denounces all attempts aimed at connecting the establishment of historians' commission and opening of the Armenian-Turkish frontier with the Karabakh conflict.
With regard to the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun's decision to withdraw from the Coalition, Mr. Demirtchyan said the Congress and the HZhK are ready to collaborate with other forces in view of issues of national interest.
Generally, the HZhK leader thinks the opposition stands a better chance to win the upcoming mayoral election provided that Armenia holds a fair and just election.
Asked in which case the opposition will not boycott the election, Mr. Demirtchyan said: "We don't long for protests. If elections are nor rigged, people won't take their word to the street. The authorities themselves pave way for rallies they do not guarantee free and unbiased electoral processes in the country."
Stepan Demirtchyan is the second on the Congress's electoral list.
