QUESTION OF SPEAKER REMAINED

The Republican Party seems to have decided to agree tacitly to home
political processes. The leaders of this party except Galust Sahakyan
decline to express their opinion on the fate of the coalition,
the vacant offices of Orinats Yerkir and the likely candidates
of the new speaker of the National Assembly. Several days ago, on
the day when Arthur Baghdasaryan announced about his resignation,
Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan, always ready for contacts with
press, managed to evade news reporters waiting for him at the State
Engineering University of Armenia. Several days later, at another
educational institution, Yerevan State University, Deputy Speaker
Tigran Torosyan gave a rather long and far-reaching reply to the
question of possibility of his nomination.
"The National Assembly still has a speaker, and when his place becomes
vacant, we can consider candidacies. Now there is no need for this,"
said the Republican deputy speaker. Tigran Torosyan gave a similarly
meaningful answer to the question if it would not be worth leaving the
position of the speaker of the National Assembly to maintain parity,
considering that the government is led by the Republican. "If there
is a vacancy, we will discuss different issues. Today the speaker of
the National Assembly is in office," said Tigran Torosyan.
His answers to the other questions about the standpoint of the
Republican on the current situation and possible steps were no less
interesting. "I want to repeat for the third time that we will discuss
it when there is a vacant position. I repeat for the fourth time,"
said Tigran Torosyan. Well, maybe he doubts that the speaker of the
National Assembly will quit, and the position will remain vacant. "I
have to repeat for the fifth time," said Tigran Torosyan and smiled.
