'ORINATS YERKIR' PARTY WILL JOIN THE OPPOSITION
Yerevan, May 12. ArmInfo. After leaving the ruling Coalition the
Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) party will take its own way and join
the opposition, said on a press conference at the National Assembly
Arthur Bagdasarian, leader of the party at the same time admitting
that the opposition bloc possibly will not welcome that.
Arthur Bagdasarian said that on May 22 he will submit the parliament
his application of resigning his office. Speaking about the today
meeting with the coalition representatives he refused to say anything
of the Presidents' and Dashnaktsutiun party members' reaction to
Orinats Yerkir's decision to leave the Coalition. Mr. Bagdasarian
explained this decision by disagreement of the ruling parties on three
main topics - inner political, social-economic and external political
issues. He admitted that he could remain in the office of the Speaker
even after withdrawal from the Coalition, but he said he is morally
obliged to resign.
Bagdasarian assured that Orinats Yerkir has ever condemned and will
always condemn the negative occurrences in Armenia - corruption,
criminal in economy, privatization of state property, etc. He alleged
that Orinats Yerkir members never abused their authority to their
personal benefit although they had the opportunity. 'Orinats Yerkir
has ever honestly told the truth and has ever been criticized by those
whose strife against those vices was only fiction. We are determined
to work hard for the progress of Armenia. Our device is "For the
People and with the People", said the party leader. -
