YEREVAN.- The National Assembly cannot stand aside from the ongoing
internal political processes in Armenia, head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
faction said, welcoming Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan's decision to discuss
the initiative with the opposition.
Armen Rustamyan said they had suggested the format of an extraordinary
session to discuss existing political situation.
"We need to hold these discussions for the parliament to have position
on the issue. Of course, all have different approaches to the election
results, but all recognize that there is serious discontent. We will
make proposals to reduce tensions and discontent in the country,"
he told reporters on Monday.
Rustamyan deems that a possible extraordinary session of parliament
should end by a decision or statement that might be the start of
joint efforts to lead the country out of current situation.
"This will be a good precedent, if the political majority displays
understanding."
ARFD member explained that debates will not replace but supplement
public movement. "If you do not solve the problem now, then it will
lead to explosive processes. We want the state and the people to
become winners."
Comparing existing situation with the 2008 post-election process,
Rustamyan stressed that Hovannisian is ready to discuss the situation
and find a joint way out of the current situation.
