VAHAN HOVHANNESIAN OFFERS
ARF Bureau member Vahan Hovhannesian offers an agenda of negotiations in order to overcome the created crisis. It will weaken the tension and be a start of a new process of deep democracy in the country. According to Hovhannesian, a new system of elections is needed to be formed that will exclude the possibility of all types of infringements and sharply heighten self-confidence of people in formation of the authorities at their own will, secondly, to create real conditions for freedom of expression and speech in the country, i.e. "Formation of National Commission of TV and Radio and leadership of Public TV with participation of the political forces", thirdly, to create conditions for the opposition providing full guarantees of acting in the political system.
In this sense one of the various steps may be corresponding change in the Regulations of National Assembly. Vahan Hovhannesian offers to concentrate on these problems and with involvement of influential political forces to start negotiations renouncing maximalism and nowhere leading confrontation.
