The Government of Armenia is determined to conduct a policy of constructive engagement with the opposition, Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan told reporters.
He said the Government is in constant contact with representatives of the Parliamentary opposition forces to find appropriate solutions to the problems. "If the opposition fails to cooperate with us to that end, it is no business of ours," Abrahamyan said.
The parliamentary opposition parties ARDF, Prosperous Armenia, Heritage and Armenian National Congress submitted 12 proposals on how to rehabilitate the situation in the country to the Government. Later, the Government presented a 12-page statement wherein it substantiated why the given proposals are not possible in Armenia.
Afterwards, President Serzh Sargsyan urged the Government to study the proposals and the ways to implement them. The Government invited the authors of the document to weigh implementation of the proposals at a negotiating table. Meanwhile, the opposition rejected to negotiate. The authors say they have already developed the ways of
rehabilitation and it remains for the Government to assume implementation of the proposals.
