    ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT TO TAKE SUMMER RECESS WITH ONE DEPUTY SPEAKER

    YEREVAN, JUNE 5, ARMENPRESS: Members of the Armenian National Assembly
    have agreed today to put off election of a deputy parliament until
    autumn when they will be back from the summer recess. The position
    of one of two deputy parliament speakers became vacant after Tigran
    Torosian from the Republican Party of prime minister Margarian was
    elected parliament chairman to replace the former speaker Arthur
    Baghdasarian.

    During a Q&A session in the parliament today prime minister Margarian
    said his party was not afraid of taking up the second important
    position in the country, in addition to the third important position of
    prime minister. "We never avoid shouldering responsibility, especially
    that we still have a duty to fulfill. Our party went to the polls in
    2003 with specific programs and knowing what sort of a burden it may
    shoulder,' he said.

    Margarian said his party will decide only next February or March
    either to participate in 2007 parliamentary elections alone or in an
    alliance with another force of forces. He said the Republican party
    hopes to win as many seats as it has now.
