ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER ARTHUR BAGHDASARYAN: ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR IS SPREAD IN ARMENIA
Yerevan, May 22. ArmInfo. An atmosphere of fear is spread in Armenia,
the Armenian parliament speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan told today in
the Parliament, having declared about his resignation.
According to Baghdasaryan, much have been done for the past
three years, however, a number of problems still remain unsolved,
particularly, a sad state of the border regions of the country and the
area of Spitak earthquake. He emphasized that disagreements with the
republic's ruling coalition appeared a year ago. These disagreements
were aggravated more and more for a number of reasons.
Particularly, Baghdasaryan paid attention to the demographic crisis
in the country, which threatens the national security, to the problem
of corruption and other issues. The speaker sees the Armenia's future
in the European Union and not in the Russia-Byelorussia Union. At
the same time, he is a follower of active relations development with
Russia. He promised to call, during the further work, concrete names
and facts concerning the available problems.
As for the decision about the party's withdrawal from the coalition,
A. Baghdasaryan reminded that 21 attempts were made to discredit the
"Orinats Yerkir" party's name for the past three years. As a result,
the party itself decided to leave the coalition. As for the RA
President Robert Kocharyan and the Defense Minister Serzh Sarkissyan,
the party was always respectful to them as to political figures,
speaker said.
To be noted, based upon the Law about the RA Parliament Regulations,
the Parliament Chairman has to confirm his resignation during the
nearest five days. On the basis of the existing legislation clauses,
the duties of the Armenian Parliament speaker will be fulfilled by
the RA Parliament Vice Speaker Tigran Torossyan.
