Republican MP Hamlet Harutyunyan thinks that the opposition always has justified demands in its arsenal, but they shouldn't be voiced as ultimatums.

"The demands voiced by the Armenian National Congress (HAK) during the March 1 rally testify to changes in the opposition's tactics," said Heritage faction MP Stepan Safaryan.

"They show that HAK has softened its position though in its last clause the opposition calls for Serzh Sargsyan's resignation," he added.

Hamlet Harutyunyan and Stepan Safaryan today debated on the recent clashes between the Heritage MPs and police near the government building.

In one of the newspapers I saw Zaruhi Postanjyan elbowing policemen. Since I know none of them, I do not exclude that both parties were involved in aggression," said the Republican MP.

Hamlet Harutyunyan finds it strange that Heritage initiatives result in clashes with police, as opposed to many-thousand demonstrations of the Armenian National Congress which always end peacefully.

Stepan Safaryan advised Harutyunyan to find out the reason behind the clashes.

Safaryan also informed journalists that Heritage is not going to lay down the mandates and will participate in parliament sittings.
