    MINISTERS RESIGN
    [08:41 pm] 27 May, 2008

    -Ministers of the Dashnaktsutyun (Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation) Party are going to resign in
    a week's time-, declared ARF Bureau Representative
    Hrant Margarian today. However, the grounds for
    resignation are not political. The Ministers have been
    elected ARF Bureau members and are going to resign to
    be able to properly carry out their membership duties.
    They will be substituted by other members of the
    Dashnaktsutyun Party but the final resolution will be
    made by the Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Board. In reply to
    the question if the reason for resignation is not the
    fact that the same people are always in power, Hrant
    Margarian answered: -The decision was made by the
    ministers themselves. It was their wish.-

    At the meeting held in Tsakhkadzor on May 21-26 the
    ARF Party made an announcement saying: -After the
    Presidential Elections the Dashnaktsutyun Party could
    assume the role of opposition but the post-election
    events put the country's sovereignty and stability on
    stake and the party members had to take the
    responsibility to preserve them at any rate.-

    On the other hand, it was stated in the announcement
    that if the coalition government does not fulfill its
    promises, the ARF will leave the coalition and become
    opposition to be able to implement its plans out of
    the government -without staking the country's security
    and betraying its democratic, political and
    ideological principles.-

    However, the divergence in views between the ARF and
    the Government has already revealed itself. The ARF
    does not welcome Zhirayr Sefilian's deportation from
    Armenia and Hrant Margarian himself informed Serzh
    Sargssian about ARF's disagreement on the matter. The
    party also believes that every Armenian must be a
    citizen of the Armenian Republic and calls to the
    Armenians all over the world to become RA citizens.

    Concerning the 1 March events the ARF Board declared:
    -We have never laid the blame on one side only.
    Everyone is to blame for the situation.- Hrant
    Margarian even blamed the aggressive mass media that
    is ready to tear up any individual who has uttered any
    reasonable word. He also blamed the intellectual and
    asked them to freely express their views -without
    further calculations-.

    -We are a party that is willing to support the
    country's security-, Hrant Margarian declared.
