    "HALF-CRIMINAL PARLIAMENT WILL NOT RESIGN"

    "Armenia's opposition is preparing for the parliamentary elections
    of 2012," Armenia's former Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanian said
    November 3.

    The opposition demands resignation of the president, rather than
    dissolution of the parliament. Mr. Arzumanian explains the opposition's
    demand by the acting Constitution: either the president disbands the
    parliament or the parliament takes a decision of resignation.

    "I do not think that our parliament which consists of half-criminal
    elements will demonstrate high political consciousness to dissolve
    itself."

    The former FM stressed that the opposition should name a united
    candidate in the next elections otherwise "we shall witness the
    repetition of 2007 when the opposition took only 21% of votes."

    With regard to the amendments to the Electoral Code, Alexander
    Arzumanian said, "To conduct free and fair elections in the country
    we need to demonstrate political willpower."

    All political prisoners will be released and internal problems of
    Armenia will be solved only in case Serzh Sargsyan resigns and free
    and fair elections are held in the country," he concluded.
