Tigran Karapetyan accuses Armenian President of secret dialogue with ANC leader

The leader of People's Party Tigran Karapetyan accused Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan of a secret dialogue with Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader.

As he noted at a discussion organized by the National Press Club and U.S. National Democratic Institute (NDI), the authorities, who are in fear of the Congress, are holding a dialogue with the ANC, yet the people won't benefit from it. Karapetyan expressed determination to force authorities into entering the dialogue with him and his supporters who struggle for an alteration of a current governmental system in Armenia, in contrast to ANC.

The leader of Ramkavar-Azatakan party Eduard Atinyan, in turn, stressed that Serzh Sargsyan and Levon Ter-Petrossian combined forces to exterminate their political opponents. As he noted, the authorities must be negotiated into initiating political reforms.
