Heritage member says authorities-opposition dialogue linked to Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - The dialogue between the authorities and the Armenian National Congress (ANC) is closely linked to the Nagorno Karabakh problem, according to a member of Heritage opposition party.

“The authorities and ANC have a similar position on Karabakh while the West benefits from a situation when the major political force is unanimous with the authorities on the issue,” Larisa Alaverdyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

“However, we are concerned over the increasing possibility of external pressure on Armenia,” she noted.

Commenting on the stand of three Armenian Presidents, Alaverdyan said that the first President’s position has not undergone changes. “Second President Robert Kocharian always stated that Nagorno Karabakh will never be a part of Azerbaijan while the current President Serzh Sargsyan expresses bright thoughts, however, his speeches are much better than the policy he pursues,” she said.
