HAK waiting for Serzh Sargsyan’s response
Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) Levon Zurabyan does not want to comment on the statement of the Republican Party (HHK) Spokesman Edward Sharmazanov who said that the HHK is ready to raise and defend at the National Assembly any realistic proposal made by the opposition.
"We are waiting for the Serzh Sargsyan's response. We do not consider HHK's statement as a response by the country's president," Zurabyan told A1+.
"After the release of the political prisoners we kept our promise and expressed readiness to start a dialogue with the authorities. Moreover, we took practical steps in this direction: we formed a 5-member delegation to negotiate with the authorities. To date we have received no reply from the authorities, specifically Serzh Sargsyan," he continued.
Asked whether the HHK spokesman could have made a similar statement without Serzh Sargsyan's consent, the HAK coordinator said, "I am not interested in their personal affairs and I would not like to comment on them. Our main demand is to hold snap elections in Armenia, while Sharmazanov's statement has nothing to do with the demand. As I said, we are waiting for the authorities' response. We can raise our concerns and proposals in the National Assembly through our delegates."

"If the authorities are ready for the talks, we will only salute them. The dialogue will help us to take the country out of the grave political crisis. If the authorities refuse to negotiate with us, they will make a great mistake."
