Armenian Government, Opposition Open Post-Election Talks

The ruling Republican Party (HHK) and two major opposition parties began negotiations on Thursday on ways of preventing a political crisis in Armenia amid continuing opposition demonstrations against official results of last week's presidential election.

Senior lawmakers from the HHK and the opposition Zharangutyun (Heritage) party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) tried to agree on the agenda of an emergency session of the parliament on the post-election tensions in the country.

Parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamian proposed such a session on behalf of the HHK-controlled majority in the National Assembly on Wednesday. But he said the debate will take place only if the main parliament factions agree on its agenda.
