The statements demanding Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian's
resignation became very popular in Stepanakert after the statement the
Presidents of the US, Russia and France released within the framework
of the G8 summit last week. Speakers at the pan-Armenian conference in
Stepanakert were insisting on the resignation in their speeches. They
were referring to the example of Turkey, which recently changed its
Foreign Minister.
However, the requirement of Edward Nalbandian's resignation was not
included in the final conclusion.
The conference featured representatives of different political forces.
Therefore, any of them should take a separate decision. For example,
ARF Dashnaktsutyun lays the blame for the mistakes it notices in the
negotiation process only on the Foreign Minister, although according
to the Constitution, the latter is appointed by the President. Will
Dashnaktsutyun demand Edward Nalbandian to resign within the coming
days?
"The format, where one person is responsible for everything, often
leads to a deadlock. We have always considered that anyone should be
accountable for his sphere. It's a correct format for the governance
of the country," Levon Lazarian said.
According to him, the ARF Bureau and Supreme Body will convene a
sitting soon, and they will present their stance afterwards.
