Support A1+!Coalition-Opposition-Intelligentsia meeting initiated by Raffi Hovhannissyan, finished. Aram Sargssyan /Republic Party/, Smbat Ayvazyan /Republic Party/, Stepan Zaqaryan /People’s Party of Armenia/, and Vazgen Manukyan /National Democratic Union/ from Opposition were present.
Coalition calling for talks and dialogue was absent. Academicians Rafael Ghazaryan, Lenser Aghalovyan, Vardan Sedrakyan, Khoren Palyan and Edward Simonyantc of intellectuals partook in the meeting. Naturally, Raffi Hovhannissyan took part in the meeting, too.
Our reliable sources informed that ARF had informed the meeting organizers Robert Kocharyan had invited ARF representatives. The fact gives cause to conclude that Robert Kocharyan had forbidden Coalition to meet Opposition and Intelligentsia.
The meeting organizers are preparing a statement and it will probably be released today.
