ARF Dashnaktsutyun ready to negotiate cooperation format with President-elect
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Body of Armenia representative Armen Rustamian has commented on Prime Minister and President-elect Serzh Sargsyan' statement on the ARF's inclusion in the future coalition government.

He said the talks have been going on for a long time on crucial issues the country faces, including fundamental reforms. He said usually the results of the talks are made public in joint statement after the talks are over. "This is why Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan's statement on March 13 was surprising. But I tend to take it as a good sign, which means that the priorities we presented to him have obviously been accepted. This is a good ground for a successful outcome of our talks. If our approaches are accepted we are ready for a closer cooperation," Rustamian said, Yerkir reports.
