4+4+4 format major achievement – Eduard Sharmazanov

Armenian Parliament Vice-Speaker, Spokesman for the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Eduard Sharmazanov commented on the announced debates on a “4+4+4” format at a meeting with reporters on Friday.

According to him, it is a major achievement.

“It is a fact, and Armenia’s authorities and opposition forces are not always able to reach final agreement amid such different opinions,” he said.

Mr Sharmazanov appreciates a constructive approach by Armenia’s authorities and opposition forces. As regards civil society, political culture is in the making in Armenia.

Mr Sharmazanov highlights political debates and dialogue.

“I share my partners’ opinion that democracy is first of all a dialogue, the only means of reaching consent. It will be a good example for parliamentarianism in the future,” he said.

Armenia’s politics will benefit as well, Mr Sharmazanov added.
