YEREVAN. – The more the dialogue between Armenian opposition and authorities continues, the better for the authorities, head of the Union of political scientists of Armenia Hmayak Hovhannisyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to him, the benefit of the authorities is instant and is shown by the fact of having a dialogue. At the same time, the benefit of the oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC) is questionable and will appear only at the end, as a result of the dialogue.

Many experts believe that Armenia may have the scenario of Tunisia. Authority in Armenia is lead by a mighty unanimous party with the Armenian president at the head. The party controls every lever of the state. However, authorities could attract the whole attention of the society to the dialogue with ANC, Hovhannisyan added.

The dialogue is similar to a showdown with questions like “Do you respect me?” and the demonstration of the powers. It is a high question whether the ANC will be able again to call so many people out like it was at the end of February, 2008 after the presidential elections, expert added.
