During one of his latest demonstrations Ter-Petrosyan promised to
"agree to a dialogue" with Serge Sargsyan, provided the latter
releases all the "political prisoners with one telephone call". Why
didn’t the president respond to this "tempting" proposal?

In response to our question President Serge Sargsyan answered with
the following question: "If some people’s demand and their only goal
is to hold new elections what can I discuss with these people? How to
hold these elections? I’m tired of elections. Just recently we have
already hold elections and by the way not one. The next Republican
elections are going to be hold after 4 tears.

As for releasing people with one telephone call, I’m not accustomed to
such working style. And it is a very bad temptation. Because releasing
ten people with one call means detaining ten people with one call. If
you consider it right than I will think about it. If you consider my
working style right I will continue to work this way."
