YEREVAN. - Opposition Armenian National Congress’ (ANC) declaration on refusing from dialogue was a hasty declaration, and they will change their view once thinking about it, ruling coalition’s Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Gagik Melikyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on ANC’s declaration made during its rally on Tuesday.      

“I do not think this closes the door for discourse. We already have made an initiative that we are prepared to continue the talks, but if the rallies continue, that would be virtually inexpedient,” the MP stated.     

He also is not of the opinion that there would be aggravations under such conditions. “This is a normal rally process which will end in time, and they will make the right decisions,” Melikyan noted.   

During ANC’s rally on Tuesday, its coordinator Levon Zurabyan had declared that, “Armenian National Congress considers any more dialogue with such government to be meaningless. It believes that solution to problems put before us henceforth solely lies in the mobilization of our people and activeness of our large-scale events.     

Armenian National Congress had initiated the current discourse, and the suspended dialogue could only resume at the initiative of the authorities, if they petition to us with a corresponding request. We would examine that petition and make a decision,” Zurabyan had stated.
