    AUTHORITIES, OPPOSITION SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO EASE POLITICAL TENSION IN ARMENIA

    ARKA
    Oct 2, 2008

    YEREVAN, October 2. /ARKA/. Armenian authorities and opposition should
    do whatever necessary to ease political tension in the country,
    former Armenian foreign minister Vardan Oskanian said at a press
    conference on Wednesday.

    Oskanian said that the authorities should do something about those
    arrested in connection with March violence.

    "I was pleasantly surprised by the information published by newspapers
    about likely amnesty. The president is to speak in National Assembly
    on October 2 and expected to announce amnesty", he said.

    He thinks unsolved problem with prisoners prevents Armenia playing
    significant role in the region.

    Oskanian thinks that right steps should be taken as compliance with
    PACE demands, of which the most important is the release of prisoners.

    In his opinion, March events tarnished Armenia's reputation. The
    former foreign minister thinks that Armenia puts its image at stake
    by dragging its feet in complying with PACE demands.

    "If the president shares my opinion, he will say something to the
    public tomorrow", Oskanian said.
