YEREVAN. – Armenian ruling party cannot fulfill certain points of 12 provisions submitted by the opposition, MP Mkrtich Minasyan said.

Minasyan, member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), believes it is impossible to hold talks when one of the parties presents an ultimatum.

The four parties – Prosperous Armenia, ANC, Heritage and ARF Dashnaktsutyun – have published 12 demands to the government around three months ago. They gave the authorities time till the end of September, warning they would launch nation-wide protest action as soon as the deadline expires. 

At the same time, Mkrtchyan said the disagreement between ruling p arty and opposition is natural.

However, instead of presenting suggestions and constructive criticism, the opposition parties are showing hostile attitude,” he told reporters.

Commenting on speculations that Prosperous Armenia is willing to come back to the ruling coalition, Minasyan said he is not aware of rumors. However, he reiterate ruling party's intention to work “with all those who express willingness to effectively solve the problems that country is faces with”.
