    Armenian head vows not to sack government under opposition pressure

    YEREVAN

    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan said in Yerevan today that he will
    not dismiss the prime minister or dissolve parliament.

    Speaking at a briefing in Yerevan today, Kocharyan said that "such
    rumours are being spread on purpose in order to create the atmosphere
    of distrust towards the president, prime minister and within the ranks
    of the ruling coalition", Mediamax news agency reports.

    "I can unequivocally say that I do not intend to dismiss the
    government. It would be absurd to take this step against the
    government which works efficiently and ensures the 100 per cent
    implementation of the budget and economic growth," Kocharyan said.

    "In spite of attempts by certain circles to create obstacles, the
    Armenian authorities are working in a normal fashion," he said.

    "There is not a single country in the world where the opposition would
    not aspire to change the government," Kocharyan said. Yet, "there is
    not a single country where the authorities do not take measures to
    ensure stability".
