/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Appointments of foreign and defense ministers are
the prerogative of the RA President, RA NA Speaker, Deputy Chairman
of the Republican Party of Armenia Tigran Torosyan stated to a press
conference in Yerevan. He said, in this case party identification
of ministers is not important. At the same time the Speaker does
not exclude possibility of forming government of national consent,
where representatives of parliamentarian parties will be included.
"Negotiations with parliamentarian groups will launch next week,
and I cannot speak about anything concrete till that moment. RPA is
in favor of cooperation but it is not necessarily in the coalition
format," Torosyan underscored, adding that more parties participate
in cooperation more productive will be the work in the parliament.
Just the other day an ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau member answering
the question about possibility to form a coalition on the example
of 2003 stated about creating a government of national consent. RPA
parliamentarian faction head Galoust Sahakyan spoke about the same
idea during his May 17 press conference.
