The demand of ARF Dashnaktsutyun party for a ministerial portfolio in
the national security, defence or law-enforcement agencies has become
an obstacle to a consensus with the Republican Party of Armenia in the
way to formation of the new government, a source at RPA told ArmInfo.

The source reports that RPA leadership is not against providing the
portfolio to ARFD if the latter supports RPA Leader, Prime Minister
Serzh Sargsyans’s nomination for president in 2008. However, ARFD
does not go on a compromise and declares that it will nominate its
own candidate for president. "The negotiations have faced a deadlock,"
the source reports.
