The Armenian authorities are loyal towards both Heritage party and the Armenian National Congress, deputy chairman of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia Razmik Zohrabyan said, citing the permission to ANC protest rally participants to enter Liberty Square as an example of loyalty.

“Each force has its own methods of political struggle which should by no means lead to a collision,” he emphasized.

Zohrabyan called on political forces for a dialogue, noting that not only the authorities but also opposition should be ready to compromise.

Commenting on Raffi Hovannisian’s hunger strike, he called to refrain from labeling it as a PR action, as all tools of political struggle and politicians’ statements may be rated as PR-campaigns on the whole.
