Armenia's government is ready to consider "reasonable proposals" from opposition leader Raffi Hovannisian to defuse post-election tensions and carry out wide-ranging reforms in the country, a key political ally of President Serzh Sarkisian said on Wednesday.
Parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamian, who managed Sarkisian's election campaign, made clear at the same time that the main opposition candidate in last week's presidential election must concede defeat and congratulate the incumbent on winning a second term. He reiterated the presidential camp's rejection of opposition calls for snap presidential or parliamentary elections.
"It would be right if Mr. Hovannisian presented prudent proposals on behalf of voters and substantiated and called for serious reforms and changes in staffing policies," Abrahamian told a news conference. "I think that's the way to go, if we care about our country's progress."
