"Those who cooperate with us will only gain by it; those who refuse, will be back to square one," Tigran Sargsyan was quoted as saying at National Assembly. As Vahan Hovhannisyan told a news conference, RPA’s idea of cooperation is reflected in coalition memorandum, stipulating for no rivalry between coalition parties. “Many mistakes could have been avoided had coalition parties been truly cooperating, here belong Armenia-Turkey rapprochement initiative, Azeri accession to UN Security Council, as well as catastrophic mistakes in economic policy,” Hovhannisyan noted.
