YEREVAN, MAY 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The Ardarutiun (Justice) faction has not
received any proposals to lay down its mandates. Faction Secretary
Viktor Dallakian gave such a reaction on May 18 to the information
published in press, according to which from the moment of putting
in application on resignation from the post of RA NA Speaker Artur
Baghdasarian has started negotiations with the parliamentary opposition
and persuades them to lay down their mandates.
Personally V.Dallakian considers that it is the MPs having received
their mandates "in an illegal way" that should lay them down. According
to him, the MPs of the Ardarutiun faction have deserved their mandates
and unless the parliamentary elections were falsified the faction
would have a majority at the parliament. "As for laying down mandates,
this is a serious political action that would take place, for instance,
after the April 2004 events, then in the situation after the falsified
referendum on the constitutional amendments. In the given case,
I think there can be no such a statement of the question by us,"
Viktor Dallakian declared to the journalists.
