Ruling coalition to do its best to continue dialogue with opposition
The aim of the coalition is to change the situation that has arisen in the country through dialogue, and if it does not take place, there will partly be the coalition's fault in it, however the opposition will be the main one to blame. Galust Saakian, leader of the National Assembly's faction Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), announced it. The opposition is seeking for reasons to evade the dialogue and must bear all responsibility for consequences of the frustration of negotiations, he said. At the same time, he stated that the ruling forces must do their best so that the opposition in the county would be controllable. As for the PACE resolution, the deputy said the number of proposals in it that were acceptable for the coalition were quite practicable and they would be fulfilled. "I don't think Armenia will have serious problems with the Council of Europe," Mr Saakian said.
