The ARF and ANC have nothing to discuss
The ARF is displeased with the government in many issues, but is not planning to demand the government's resignation.
ARF representative Vahan Hovhannisyan spoke on behalf of the ARF during a briefing at the National Assembly today and informed that he is not unequivocal regarding the report by the U.S. State Department on Armenia.
"Everybody knows that the 2008 elections were not held in the best case scenario. What we don't understand is why the small districts of Armenia must suffer from this after the U.S. Department terminated the land construction program," said Hovhannisyan.
Vahan Hovhannisyan disputes the view that the political crisis is still going on even after March 1.
Talking about the opposition, especially Raffi Hovhannisyan's statement according to which the ARF, the ANC and "Heritage" must start consultations, Mr. Hovhannisyan said:
"His call for collaboration is correct, but we know that collaboration between political parties in Armenia is a hard process because ambitions play a huge role."
Hovhannisyan announced that he has no ambitions and is ready to take the first step. The ARF representative sees collaboration between the government and the opposition.
As for the collaboration between the ARF and the ANC, Vahan Hovhannisyan said that the ARF has nothing to discuss with the ANC in terms of collaboration because Levon Ter-Petrosyan and his outpost parties can't cooperate without being in charge.
