Yerevan /Mediamax/. "Dashnaktsutiun" party is expecting a response from
the ruling coalition to its proposal on coming out of the agreement,
signed following the results of the parliamentary elections of May
12 of 2007.
As the Head of the parliamentary faction of "Dashnaktsutiun" party
Hrayr Karapetian stated in Yerevan today, the further presence of
the party in the government depends on the stance of the Republican
Party of Armenia and "Prosperous Armenia" party, which enter the
ruling coalition.
Commenting on the situation present in the country after the
presidential elections of February 19, Hrayr Karapetian spoke for
ruling out methods with use of force both from the part of the
authorities and the opposition. He noted the necessity "of holding
talks between the authorities and the opposition on issues of improving
the electoral system, real provision of freedom of speech and handing
a number of authority opportunities over to the opposition".

help to take the country out of the present situation".
