YEREVAN. – There is an apparent crisis in the dialogue process between
the ruling coalition and the opposition Armenian National Congress
(ANC), but it is highly probable for this discourse to resume,
specifically since both parties wish to come out of this crisis,
Caucasus Institute Director, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan
stated during a press conference on Friday.
And reflecting on ANC member Nikol Pashinyan’s declaration toward
gathering 500 thousand people in capital Yerevan’s Liberty Square,
Iskandaryan noted that such-capacity rallies were not held even between
February 19 and March 1, 2008. “What’s more important is the quality
of those masses,” the political scientist maintained.
According to Iskandaryan, the rallies will continue. “The closer
the elections come, the rhetoric will become that much radical. So,
the reaction will always be there,” the political scientist concluded.
The opposition had suspended talks with the authorities on August 26,
stating that it would resume the dialogue only in the case when ANC
activist Tigran Arakelyan-whom ANC views as a political prisoner-is
set free.
