Orinats Yerkir, a junior member of President Serzh Sargsyan's governing coalition, has called for a broad dialogue to settle what has turned into another post-election crisis in Armenia.
The party allied to the main ruling Republican Party of Armenia had endorsed President Sargsyan as a candidate in the February 18 election in which the incumbent officially won reelection. His official victory, however, is being disputed by the main opposition challenger, Raffi Hovannisian, who has launched a nationwide campaign for the annulment of the election results.
Orinats Yerkir, whose leader Artur Baghdasaryan was controversially instrumental in shifting the balance of the conflicting parties in a similar, but much more bitter post-election standoff five years ago, discussed a broad range of issues concerning last week's presidential ballot at the meeting of its political council last night.
