    YEREVAN

    Representatives of the ruling coalition parties are sceptical about
    the intention of the opposition to start a protest action to demand
    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan's resignation.

    The leader of the Republican Party's parliamentary faction, Galust
    Saakyan, described this initiative of the opposition as "ridiculous
    and far from politics". He said that the "people are not in a
    revolutionary mood". The MP described as inadmissible any action of
    the opposition which could run counter to the constitution, noting
    that "things will not reach open confrontation".

    The secretary of the faction of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
    - Dashnaktsutyun, Grayr Karapetyan, expressed his concern that "the
    opposition is aggravating the situation" and said that "our party will
    do its best not to allow confrontation in society".

    A representative of the Orinats Yerkir [Law-Governed Country Party]
    parliamentary faction, Mger Shakhgeldyan, said that "many countries of
    the world have given up revolutionary approaches to a change of power
    as this yields no good results".
