Yerevan, 12 May: The secretary of the opposition Justice bloc, Viktor
Dallakyan, said today that "the Armenian president should speak on TV
today and say that the coalition does not exist any more".
Commenting on Speaker Artur Bagdasaryan's resignation and the
Law-Governed Country Party's departure from the ruling coalition,
Dallakyan said that the Armenian president should dissolve the
parliament and dismiss the government and the prime minister.
Dallakyan believes that "the speaker resigned as a result of pressure
from the ruling circles". He did not rule out that "Bagdasaryan
probably encountered the same kind of pressure as the former head of
the presidential administration, Artashes Tumanyan".
The secretary of the Dashnaktsutyun faction, Grayr Karapetyan, said
today that the Law-Governed Country Party left the ruling coalition
"in the most civilized way". He also said that each of the three
member parties of the coalition is an independent political force and
has the right to determine its political line independently.
