The dialogue between the Armenian opposition and the authorities will
become possible only in case if the latter consents to a referendum on
confidence in the authorities, Armenian National Party and Justice
block leader Stepan Demirchyan said in Yerevan today.

National Unity Party leader Artashes Gegamyan said that the political
consultations held between the opposition representatives and the
Armenian National Assembly speaker Artur Bagdasaryan had produced no
results as the opposition’s proposals were rejected, Mediamax reports.

Armenian National Assembly speaker Bagdasaryan announced on 7 April
that he was going to held political consultations to reduce political
tension in the country.
