ArmInfo. The domestic political situation in Armenia still remains
tense and the only way out that can defuse tension is holding os
extraordinary election, representative of Pan-National Movement,
ex-vice-speaker of the Armenian parliament, Karapet Rubinyan, said
at today’s press-conference in National Press Club.
He also added that before the presidential election in February 2008
the people of the country hoped that legitimate power maybe elected via
the election and the country will in a democratic way. But after the
election they were balked in their desires, nevertheless major part
of the society do not want to put up with it. As for the authorities
and first of all President Serzh Sarkisyan, they are unable to take
any decision, Rubinyan is sure.

make a statement of release of all the arrested people till 1 August,
since only in that case the opposition will start a dialogue with
the authorities.
