AUTHORITIES KILL DIALOGUE FOR FEAR OF LOSING POWER?

Some government officials probably fear that the dialogue with the
opposition alliance would cause them to lose power, an oppositionist
has told reporters.
"I think some in government are looking for ways to kill the dialogue
for fear of losing power," Hovhannes Igityan, a member of the Armenian
Pan-national Movement (a political party represented in the opposition
Armenian National Congress), said at a news conference organized
jointly with Rafik Petrosyan, a lawmaker of the ruling Republican
Party.
In that context, he particularly referred to ANC activist Tigran
Arakelyan's recent detention, considering it an attempt to halt
the process.
Petrosyan added that the problem of political prisoners will remain
a political issue as long as the authorities keep arresting people
based on a political decision.
"The process is in the political domain," he added.
