HHK: “Early elections are dangerous and may lead to deadlock”
Spokesman for the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) has issued a statement hailing the cooperation between the authorities and the Armenian National Congress.
"We have always praised the work style of moving forward and simultaneously solving the existing problems. For some time now we have been holding a dialogue with the extra-parliamentary opposition. The dialogue is conducted openly and publicly, and has yielded positive results. Today we have reached a situation where we can consider the opposition's views and proposals in resolving the various problems in the country. Now we all parties should join efforts to maintain these positive developments and the environment," Edward Sharmazanov said in the statement.
"However, the parties need to be constructive in their actions not to lead the process to stalemate.
The call for early elections is both ungrounded and dangerous and may deadlock the positive developments in progress. I don't believe that the opposition Armenian National Congress will be able to make a positive contribution toward resolving public concerns. The authorities are inclined to be constructive and have the right to expect the same from the opposition. Armenia's corresponding state agencies and departments are prepared to discuss opposition's proposals in economic, social, political, geopolitical or other sphere," reads the statement.
"Moreover, we think that all proposals made by the Armenian National Congress as an extra-parliamentary opposition, will assist in minimizing our people's concerns and will require legislative solutions. The Republican Party is ready to raise and defend at the National Assembly any realistic proposal by the opposition aimed at resolving the problems of our people," said Sharmazanov.
