YEREVAN. – The dialogue between Armenian authorities and opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) ceased to be a solution for the situation in Armenia. However, resuming should not be excluded, ANC coordinator Levon Zurabyan said at a press conference on Tuesday. The dialogue is of less importance currently. 

“If a tool is out of use you can still keep it, but also use other influential tools,” the coordinator stated and did not exclude that the dialogue may resume after September. “We want to pass to democracy in a civilized way, within political processes.”

In response to the report what the reasonable concession by the authorities is and that it may not necessarily be snap elections, Zuabyan stated that authorities may offer some other interesting plan if available, proving that they really work toward democratization.

Opposition-authorities dialogue was suspended in August based on ANC activist, political prisoner Tigran Arakelyan. ANC claimed for his release to resume the talks.
