During a meeting today with various foreign officials in Yerevan, Levon Zurabyan, spokesman for the opposition HAK (Armenian National Congress), stated that preconditions for starting a dialog with the government would be realized on May 31.

Zurabyan met with representatives of the U.K., French, Dutch and Swedish embassies, as well as the representative of the European Union.

The HAK spokesman said that such a dialog could pave the way for snap elections and the formation of a legitimate government in Armenia.

He said that the European Union and its member states could assist in this process by providing enough election observers to staff all 2,000 polling stations.
