“I expected more of the president than an article, a note. I would have expected from the First President of what specific solutions he sees”, said the President of the Yerevan Press Club Boris Navasardyan, in the conversation with Aravot.am, referring to the first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s open letter. In his opinion, the author of this open letter could be a person who has a smaller impact on domestic political developments but not the first president. “In this regard, questions arise as to what extent it is agreed with other opposition forces and their leaders so that the proposal that Levon Ter-Petrosyan is ready to make to Serzh Sargsyan, if not agreed, then to the extent it is serious. This suggests that there are questions where Levon Ter-Petrosyan is ready to have a bipartite separate dialogue with the government authorities, without agreeing it with the partners of the Parliamentary Trio. Most importantly, these questions would be answered prior to further domestic political development.”
Boris Navasardyan considers that it would be better to voice the proposal and enter into a dialog, and then criticize the Pan Armenian Declaration. “The criticism of the Declaration happened earlier than the proposal to dialogue, it’s weird, because you first strongly criticize and then offer to enter into a dialogue. Naturally, the dialogue, moreover, the constructive dialogue becomes more difficult. If there were ideas, thought and other opinions, the open letter should have started from the proposal to dialogue rather than the criticism.”
