    ARMENIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS 'HOLDS THE GUNS'?

    Despite some claims that the dialogue is not progressing, the political
    forces are conducting it, Galust Sahakyan, Chairman of the Republican
    Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group, told journalists. The
    dialogue is now going on by means of "squares and mass media."

    A political dialogue does not imply one side proposing and the other
    immediately accepting the proposal, he said.

    According to Sahakyan, a political force that agrees to a dialogue
    should realize that all of its demands would never be met.

    The dialogue would be most beneficial for the opposition Armenian
    National Congress (ANC). "It has brought them out of the political
    mire rather than resolved the ruling coalition's problems. Never has
    the coalition been reluctant to hold a dialogue with a political
    force. They [ANC] attempted to enter the political arena and
    participate in elections in a civilized manner," he said.

    Also, the people needed the dialogue to "get involved in the political
    life."

    "If the ANC refuses to resume the talks, they will find themselves
    outsiders again. The ANC grudgingly agreed to negotiate with the
    authorities, but it did not agree to negotiate with the other political
    forces. Because the ANC is 'holding the biggest guns,' come down to
    earth with a bump!"

    The authorities had stated no snap elections would be held in Armenia.

    However, they are ready to discuss the issue because it may be
    interesting to the public.

    "As to me, I am not at all pleased to talk to those people because
    I know who they are," Sahakyan said.
