Prime Minister positively views dialogue with opposition

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan views a dialogue with the opposition positively.

As the Prime Minister told a parliament-hosted news conference, “during 3 years, we stated the dialogue between the authorities and the opposition is necessary. We kept inviting the opposition to cooperate, by forming structures necessitating the opposition’s involvement. We’ve always been open to a dialogue and the dialogue was always public.”

The Prime Minister advised to take opposition demands on his resignation in their strike, noting that the idea is a mere display of political struggle, characteristic of civilized countries.

Mr. Sargsyan provided no information as to the liberation of political prisoners expected on May 28.
