YEREVAN - Vice chairman of Republican Party of Armenia Galust Sahakyan would hate to be engaged in dialogue with opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC), that is why he is not included into working group negotiating on behalf of the coalition, Sahakyan said to a press conference on Wednesday.

“I would hate to run a dialogue with ANC. I would not like to be in the working group. I know these people for too long. If I participated in the dialogue, it would either have different orientation or it would end in a few hours. That is why I stayed out of it,” said Sahakyan.

As reported earlier, the oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC) suspended its participation in the government-opposition dialogue last Friday, saying it will return to the negotiating table only if the ANC activist Tigran Arakelyan is released.
