The newspaper's editorial puts a question about the party that led the dialogue to a deadlock and whether the dialogue merely a means for passing and wasting of time.
The editorial goes on that as for us in the GPC (the ruling party) the door of dialogue has remained open and it is not part of our culture and behavior to use dialogue for reaching a deadlock. The editorial goes on to mention that dialogue is a respectable value and serious practice. Among the bases that must be related to dialogue is respect of the other and agreement on issues and subjects of dialogue provided the issues must express realistic needs and to be built on what is existing and its development and not for its demolition.
It mentions that some number of leaderships in the JMP wail on the dialogue and allege that the GPC was the cause in failure of the dialogue through the past period and they know well that they do not excel in dialogue but in the field of political deals and gaining personal interests or ministerial posts. They had been used to in the past that what they could not obtain in elections they will have via exceptional deals and agreements. This is a means that should not continue as the democratic experiment has become rooted and the citizen has become the owner of decision and will in choosing his rulers.
