YEREVAN, MAY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. The processes connected with some MPs'
leaving the Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) Party and the parliamentary
faction according to their own applications in the recent days no doubt
will have an impact on the political field, but the parliament will
not choose the way of political tensions. Galust Sahakian, Head of the
RPA faction, the Orinats Yerkir Party's coalition partner, expressed
such an opinion on May 10, meanwhile excluding possible formation of
a new parliamentary majority. According to him, primordially there
is already no political majority at the National Assembly.
"I think the Republican Party will cope with the parliamentary
functions as it has an experience, knows the ways for it, as well as
has been able to assume rather a serious burden in this way in the
recent 5-6 years," the faction head mentioned. He also did not exclude
the possibility of some tension during the coming autumn session, which
will be conditioned by purely preelection processes. In response to
Noyan Tapan correspondent's question, G.Sahakian said that he would not
like the developments in the OYP to result in the party Chairman Artur
Baghdasarian's resignation from the position of the NA Speaker or to
expressing distrust to him. "I do not think that such a way is right,
in any case, political fenomenon is so that possible developments can
be always prognosticated. If there is an issue of resignation, it will
not be the Republican Party that will demand this, I think the party
will not choose such a way," the RPA faction head said. According
to him, nevertheless, if the issue of resignation is set, RPA will
"treat it with respect" and will try "not to permit a failure of this
party". Sahakian called false the romours that the current processes
in the OYP are guided by the power wing and personally by him in this
wing. The MP also did not exclude the possibility that the businessmen
MPs who left the OYP can join the RPA faction mentioning that the MPs
who are not included in the party's preelection proportional list
cannot join the faction "but in general, as a man, a personality,
with their positions, everybody are included". Another coalition
partner of OYP, ARF Dashaktsutiun, refused to give any commentaries.
