President Serzh Sargsyan has rejected two key elements of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation~Rs (ARF, Dashnaktsutyun) seven-point elections
platform following a lengthy meeting with the party~Rs Bureau chairman
Hrant Markarian and Supreme Council of Armenia representative Armen
Rustamian at the weekend.
Markarian said on Monday that Sargsyan, in particular, rejected the
ARF~Rs proposal for Armenia to adopt a parliamentary form of government
and the party~Rs insistence that Armenia withdraw its signature from
the Turkey-Armenia protocols.
Markarian explained that the president is firm in his belief that the
Armenian government is on the right path vis-à-vis the protocols and
has added that the system of governance was not the problem.
~SWas the meeting with the president useless? If we look at it only in
a purely functional way, then probably yes. But it also made sense
because our arguments and views might influence his thinking,~T said
Markarian, as quoted by Asbarez.com.
~SIf that happens, we will be grateful. If not, we will have no regrets
that we did not try,~T he added.
