On March 27 the RA National Assembly Vice President Eduard Sharmazanov met with the students of the Faculty of International Relations of Yerevan State University and answered a series of questions relating to Armenia's inner and foreign policy, the press service of the Armenian Parliament reports.
At the students' request he touched upon the possibility of the opposition's unity in the elections of Yerevan Elders. To his assessment, the Republican Party is for competitive fighting and will fight for victory, welfare of Yerevan, and for the perspective of its development. And the possibility of the opposition's unity, in his opinion, is rather foggy, as the opposition is multi-layer, and the struggle among them continues for being the first.
Referring to the possible dialogue between the RA President Serzh Sargsyan and Raffi Hovannisian, who occupied the second place as a result of presidential elections, the NA Vice President has said that he is for solving the political problems through political way, but not intensifying the political atmosphere through personal offenses and extreme announcements. In this issue he highly appreciated the readiness of the President of the Republicto listen to the one sitting opposite him and the capability of making objective and constructive decisions, which are aimed at more effectively solving the existing problems with the help of united society and in conditions of mutual understanding by law. According to Eduard Sharmazanov, the power should not be guided by thinking of smothering
the existing shortcomings, and the opposition should choose the path of not seeing what was done and indicating only the shortcomings.
At the students' request Eduard Sharmazanov also touched upon the policy of human resources, the role of social networks in the development of civil society, the problems of the country's security and the multi- vector and balanced foreign policy of Armenia.
