YEREVAN, MARCH 21, NOYAN TAPAN. The negotiations over the quotas of
posts in the government due to RPA, Bargavach Hayastan, Orinats Yerkir
and ARFD, which have signed the agreement on creation of a political
coalition, are still underway on March 21. Naira Zohrabian, a member of
the National Assembly Bargavach Hayastan (Prosperous Armenia) faction,
said at the press briefing held the same day. Not mentioning the
name of any of the circulated candidates for Prime Minister's post,
nevertheless she expressed an opinion that "in this period a person
is to be RA Prime Minister, who has a serious experience of state
government and will be also able with his human traits to systematize
the work of the forces making a quadrilateral coalition."
"Coalition is cooperation of several individual political forces,
during which each of them preserves its individual peculiarities,
but tries to find the common field, where they can work, and the
art of compromise should work seriously here," Hermine Naghdalian,
a member of the RPA faction, expressed such an opinion. In her words,
certainly, there will be disagreements, but the coalition parties will
try to find "the way of continuing the joint work" as far as possible.
In response to NT correspondent's question of whether by creation of
a coalition with such a large format the parliament will not suffer in
the respect of plurality, the deputy from RPA said: "I think you have
also made sure that our partner political forces nevertheless never
keep silence and have never missed the chance of a different mind or
expressing their own opinion, even if it was beyond agreements."
