When asked to comment on ANC leader's discussing internal affairs of Armenia with representatives of foreign structures, while earlier criticising interference of external forces in the domestic affairs of the country, she noted, “not the county but the illegal authorities must be subjected to pressure. ” “ANC leader discusses commonly known problems, without revealing state secrets. It's not only right, but also necessary to discuss issues which need to be resolved,” she stressed. Ms. Sargsyan named current authorities “responsible for falsifying 2008 elections and provoking March 2008 tragic events.” At the same time, she praised European institutions “for facilitating release of political prisoners.” Top stories President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova.
