"I believe neither referendum nor documents' ratification in RA Parliament are the right solution," Hrant Markarian told a news conference in Yerevan. According to him, tradition of free and fair elections has not yet been formed in Armenia. Besides, Dashnaktsutyun representative emphasized that, it would be more correct for RA President to consult with RA's political forces. "Parties should come to an agreement on the issue as a result of consultations, trying to disregard mutual disagreements existing," Markarian said.
