YEREVAN, MARCH 28, NOYAN TAPAN. Serious political priorities are
stipulated in the agreement of the coalition formed a few days ago
by four parliamentary parties. This statement was made by Naira
Zohrabian, a member of the Bargavach Hajastan (Prosperous Armenia)
faction of the RA National Assembly, at the press conference, which
was held on March 28. She also expressed hope that the coalition will
work productively and will settle the problems set in front of it.

According to her, both the opposition and the authorities including
the Prosperous Armenia Party, are responsible for the events, which
took place on March 1 in Yerevan. Naira Zohrabian mentioned that the
Prosperous Armenia Party sees a dialogue between all the interested
sides, including the radical opposition, as the only way out of the
existing domestic political tension. "Any problem, including that on
setting free those under arrest, should be settled during a dialogue
at a round table," she mentioned.

However, in the opinion of Naira Zohrabian, bringing forward
a precondition for starting a dialogue by the radical opposition
creates an impression that the opposition refuses a dialogue.
