YEREVAN.- Armenian parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan said ruling party is ready to discuss issues raised by the opposition.

“I do not think that talks between Republican Party of Armenia and opposition factions were ruined,” he said in the parliament on Monday in response to a remark of Ruben Hakobyan, head of Heritage parliamentary group.

Hakobyan claims parliamentary majority rejected the project presented by Heritage and approved by other parliamentary groups.

“I call on all political forces to gather and discuss the issue once again,” Abrahamyan said.

In his turn Ruben Hakobyan recalled RPA should have initiated special parliamentary meeting regardless of whether any faction will present a proposal.

“Heritage is not participating in talks. You could have initiated special session even if you disliked our offer. Parliament cannot stand aside from the existing political situation,” Hakobyan stressed.
