“ORINATS YERKIR” LEFT BY HEAD OF SYUNIK “DZORK” MARZ STRUCTURE OF PARTY

KAPAN, MAY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. Lernik Petrosian, the head of the Syunik
“Dzork” marz structure of the “Orinats Yerkir” (Country of Law) party
left its rows recently. As we had informed earlier, L.Petrosian was
the former Chief of the Education, Culture and Sports Department of
the Syunik Regional Governor’s Office, and was discharged in April, as
according to his own insistence, he was obliged to become a member of
the Republican Party of Armenia. Though they informed from the OYK,
that L.Petrosian has been a party member since this February, but the
latter mentioned in the conversation with us that he wrote an
application and entered the OYK only on April 15. And on May 18 he
wrote an application and informed that he leaves the OYK. “The main
reason is that the OYK became the opposition. I have twice been a
member of RA President Robert Kocharian’s marz office and done a good
work. How may I dely my principles? I have no such a moral right. Bad
or good, he is our President whom I elected, that’s why I consider
needless my staying in the OYK,” Petrosian said to the Noyan Tapan
correspondent and added that if the OYK did not become opposition, he
would stay in that party.
