Russian foreign ministry emphasizes restoration of public accord in Armenia
YEREVAN, April 25. /ARKA/. Restoration of public accord meets the fundamental interests of the fraternal Armenia, the Russian ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement on its official website.

"We hope that the situation will develop exclusively in the legal and constitutional field, and all political forces will show responsibility and readiness for a constructive dialogue. We are convinced that the prompt return of life in the country to normal and the restoration of public accord meet the fundamental interests of the fraternal Armenia," the statement said.

It also said the foreign ministry continues to closely monitor the development in Armenia, with which Russia is linked by historical traditions of friendship, extensive all-round cooperation and relations of allied interaction. 

Thousands of opposition protest leader Nikol Pashinyan’s supporters resumed protests across the Armenian capital Yerevan today morning after negotiations he was to hold with the ruling Republican Party  were canceled.  According to acting prime minister Karapetyan, he rejected preconditions laid down by Pashinyan. Shortly after the resumption of protests police were deployed in the center of the Armenian capital.

The opposition says after making prime minister Serzh Sargsyan to step down their next goal is to elect a popular prime minister and make the ruling Republican Party that has the majority in the parliament, cede power. -0-
