Armenia
YEREVAN. - "As always, ARF Dashnaktsutyun does 'half-measures,'"
opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) member Bagrat Asatryan
stated, during a press conference on Monday, commenting on ARF's
initiative to express a non-confidence against the Government. In
this context, Asatryan recalled Dashnaktsutyun's following stance
toward the idea of independence: "Being in favor of independence,
we are against leaving the Soviet Union."
Also, it became apparent, several months ago, that ARF was demanding
FM Edward Nalbandian's resignation. And ANC representative responded
to this as follows: "Let us not take part in these games of fantasy.
Who does not know that the President appoints the FM, [and] solely
the President's resignation is important today; there is a political
crisis."
Unexpectedly, the ruling coalition's Republican Party of Armenia MP
Manvel Badeyan responded positively to ARF's position. In his words,
Dashnaktsutyun demands what can be attained, that is, the FM's and the
Government's resignation. But it remains far from "unreal" political
demands, that is, the President's resignation.
