Negotiations between the pro-government majority in the Armenian parliament and two major opposition parties on post-election tensions in the country ended in failure on Monday.
Senior lawmakers from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) and the opposition Zharangutyun and Dashnaktsutyun parties began the talks on Thursday in an attempt to agree on the agenda of a possible parliament session on the February 18 presidential election.
Zharangutyun and Dashnaktsutyun proposed a 3-point agenda that included the conduct of fresh parliamentary elections this year and sweeping constitutional reforms that would transform Armenia into a parliamentary republic. The parliament majority loyal to President Serzh Sarkisian categorically rejected the idea of snap polls.
