The only way out of the current complex situation in Armenia is the
authorities-opposition dialogue, RA former Foreign Minister and ANC
member Alexander Arzumanyan stated at Dec. 1 press conference. Earlier,
opposition insisted on RA President Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation.

According to him, meanwhile ANC is ready to enter into dialogue with
authorities if all political prisoners are released. In 21st century
having political prisoners in the country is unacceptable, Arzumanyan
outlined, adding that presently 15 oppositionists are celled.

As NEWS.am reported previously, after March 1, 2008 events many
oppositionists were arrested on charge of carrying a weapon and
organizing mass disorders. On June 19, 2009 RA announced amnesty and
some of them were released.
