Coalition forms working group to negotiate with HAK
Spokesperson for Armenian President commented on authorities' further steps on starting a political dialogue with the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK).
Speaking to News.am, Armen Arzumanyan said, ""If you remember, in a June 17 statement President Serzh Sargsyan said that members of the ruling coalition can sit at a round table with the HAK if the main opposition is really ready to hold a dialogue not over one but a range of key issues concerning Armenia's foreign and domestic policy and wants to do it through specifically chosen people."
Arzumanyan recalled that in his speech at the June 30 rally, HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan hailed the proposal, noting that the dialogue should be held around priority issues.
"Welcoming the opposition's response, the coalition parties have formed a working group composed of two representatives from each party. The list of authorities' delegates will be released in the next few days, making it possible to hold the first working discussion in the next ten days," said Arzumanyan.
