National Assembly discussing ANC proposal
The Armenian National Assembly is discussing the opposition's proposal to resume the suspended dialogue between the government and the opposition alliance Armenian National Congress (ANC), member of the ruling Republican Party Gagik Minasyan said on Monday.
He says the absence of government delegates Davit Harutyunyan and Naira Zohrabyan cannot prevent them from holding discussions with the ANC.
The Republican MP says Serzh Sargsyan is unaware of the discussions.
"We shall consider the issue from all aspects and make a balanced decision," he said.
Asked whether the authorities are going to disperse the ANC supporters who are staging round-the-clock rallies at Liberty Square, Republican Spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov said, "During the past 2,5 years the authorities have proved that they do not seek confrontations and turbulences, rather, they are for dialogue and cooperation."
Vardan Bostanjyan, another government delegate and member of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), says he was pleased to hear ANC Leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan ‘prasing' the BHK.
"Whenever someone praises our party, I feel great delight," said Bostanjyan.
Speaking in a rally, Levon Ter-Petrosyan said that unlike Serzh Sargsyan's Republican Party, the BHK is a "real political party" which has its stable electorate.
