ArmInfo. Armenian Democratic Party leader Aram Sarkisyan is for
the dialogue between the authorities and the opposition but without
participation of the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan,
he said at today’s press-conference in Pastarq club.

He also added that the dialogue is necessary in case if its
potential parties want to resolve the problem. ‘I am sure that Levon
Ter-Petrosyan is not going to resolve the problem’, – Sarkisyan said
and added that ‘another point is who to have a dialogue with’. He
thinks that the dialogue is possible with several opposition parties,
but he did not specify their names. Sarkisyan recalled that the
principle position of the DPA is ‘not to be there where Ter-Petrosyan
and his team are’. This is a principle position and it does not depend
on conjecture, Sarkisyan emphasized. As for possible affect of external
forces on the events in Armenia, Sarkisyan said that ‘Ter-Petrosyan’s
interview with Washington Post contains answer to this question’.
