Armenia faces serious challenges
Armenia is facing serious challenges: financial crisis, Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution and Azerbaijan's permanent threats of war, an Armenian oppositionist said.
Levon Zurabyan, coordinator of Congress, focused on the financial crisis, which has not affected Armenia badly "thanks to the mercy of international organizations."
"The Armenian government is incapable to find an adequate solution for the existing problems. It will rather make concessions on Karabakh than release all political prisoners and open a dialog with the opposition," he said.
Zurabyan also noted that the public should be aware of the essence of talks held by Armenia and Azerbaijan.
