THERE NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY IN ORINATS YERKIR’S WITHDRAWAL FROM RULING
COALITION: ARMENIAN DM

Yerevan, May 12. ArmInfo. There is nothing extraordinary in the
Orinats Yerkir party’s withdrawal from the ruling coalition and one
should not look for any implication, says Armenia’s DM Serzh Sargsyan.

He says that the coalition was set up in 2003 and now one party has
decided to withdraw because of differences with the other two
ones. Sargsyan refutes the reports that he took part in the formation
of Orinats Yerkir and that the authorities are pressuring the
businessmen leaving the party. They joined the party for their
personal purposes and now they are leaving it because of differences
with the authorities, says Sargsyan.

Asked if he considers Artur Bagdassaryan’s resignation and OY’s
withdrawal as his victory over Bagdassaryan, Sargsyan says that one
better ask this question to Bagdassaryan. “I didn’t fight with him,”
says Sargsyan.
