Yesterday, the meeting of PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan and ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan was held in the PAP central office. According to official release, during the meeting the collaboration results of the Quartet were discussed, as well as rally organization and preparation related issues. “Both political parties reaffirmed their stance about unacceptability of changing the government regime of the country via constitutional amendments in the current situation, and consider the implementation of reforms aimed at putting the country on the path of development a priority. The sides also emphasized the importance of joint visits to the marzes prior to the rally to inform people about the items of joint agenda and to mobilize them,” says the release after the meeting.
Previously, it was announced that the meeting of the leaders would be held prior to the rally. But yesterday, the meeting of two out of the four forces took place. To the question of Aravot why ARF and “Heritage” leaders were not present at the meeting, the leader of the “Heritage” faction, Ruben Hakobyan, said that it is accepted with them that bipartite and tripartite meetings may also take place. “It is normal that such a meeting can be held. But, ultimately, any issue related to the joint rally should be discussed within the Quartet,” said our interlocutor.
It was impossible to determine the ARF’s attitude to Tsarukyan-Ter-Petrosyan meeting.
