    WHAT DID SERZH SARGSYAN ASK FOR?

    "The fact that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan requested a meeting
    with his Russian counterpart Dmitri Medvedev testifies to the failure
    of the Washington meetings," head of Heritage faction Stepan Safaryan
    told A1+.

    Obviously, recent developments in the Armenian-Turkish peace process
    and Karabakh issue settlement are not favorable to Armenia, otherwise
    Serzh Sargsyan would not go on holiday and request a meeting with
    Dmitri Medvedev," he added.

    Stepan Safaryan does not doubt that both Armenia and Turkey displayed
    unyielding standpoints in Washington and Turkey pushed forward its
    preconditions that conflict with Armenia's interests.

    "Eventually, Armenian authorities should withdraw from the
    reconciliation process. Unfortunately, our authorities were forced
    to compromise in some issues, as they fear to lose power."

    Russian President Dmitri Medvedev will pay a regional visit on
    May 11-13.

    In reply to A1+'s remark whether Russia has decided to have a whack at
    Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, Mr. Safaryan said, "A weird situation
    is created over the Karabakh conflict. At first, Turkey seemed to
    be eager to get engaged in the talks and take the initiative. Taking
    into consideration the fact that Turkey is not involved in the talks,
    we can say that Turkey has managed to influence the process to its
    profit. Today, Turkey dictates its will to the world and calls for
    frequent meetings exerting pressure on the sides."

    Stepan Safaryan thinks a document will soon be bound to Armenia
    concerning the conflict settlement. Therefore, he suggests that Serzh
    Sargsyan address interior issues upon his return from holiday.

    "The authorities should disclose the terrorist act of March 1, 2008,
    release political prisoners, respect and protect the rights of RA
    citizens. All these issues affect the country's political course and
    pave way for outer pressure."

    "Serzh Sargsyan cannot seek justice in foreign policy unless he has
    administered justice inside his country," concluded Stepan Safaryan.
