Yerevan, 17 September: A forum of opposition forces took place in
Yerevan today at the initiative of the Justice bloc.

As Mediamax agency correspondent reports, speaking at the forum,
the secretary of the Justice bloc, Viktor Dallakyan, said that
“Armenia is in a crisis, and the way out of the existing situation
is in the union of our society”. He expressed his confidence that
the leadership would resign if national movement started.

Speaking on the possibility of the opposition continuing rallies,
Shavarsh Kocharyan from the Justice bloc said that society was not
satisfied with the existing situation in the country, it should be
ready for active confrontation, “however, it is prospectless to be
limited to rallies only”.

towards authoritarianism and dictatorship,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said.
