/PanARMENIAN.Net/ All political forces represented in the
Parliament of Armenia will do their best to establish a new
political situation in the country and will solve the problems via
political dialogue. Chairman of the National Assembly of Armenia Artur
Baghdasarian told it to journalists yesterday, after the completion of
the recurrent phase of political consultations between representatives
of the ruling coalition and the opposition over the settlement of
the domestic situation in the country. In his opinion, the political
consultations, which began after hard four-month discussions in
the Parliament, have born first fruits. Representatives of the
Republican Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir and Dashnaktsutyun,
People’s Deputy group, United Labor Party faction, Justice bloc
and National Unification faction have agreed to start political
dialogue. Thereupon a corresponding agenda will be formed on May
13. As Secretary of Justice opposition faction Victor Dallakian
told journalists in his turn, “coalition representatives asked for
two days to express their attitude to the opposition proposals.” In
his words, May 12 the coalition will present a corresponding written
proposal. Having discussed it, the opposition will decide whether to
continue the talks or not. It should be reminded that the question on
“the ways of overcoming the political crisis formed in Armenia after
the presidential election in 2003” is included in the agenda of the
negotiations.
