When government asked the parties to approve their representatives in the party dialogue through the party council, some parties have made it a big issue. It is noted that the parties bring up unnecessary problems because the parties are more interested in freeing their leaders serving jail term. Government have said that they are willing to conduct dialogue and find solutions to these problems as well.
