GOVERNMENT FORMATION WILL NOT LINGER
[03:54 pm] 04 June, 2007

The acting government terminates its jurisdictions on June 7, after
the NA first session. Under the acting law,

the new Parliament shall elect a prime minister within 10 days

the RoA President shall appoint the prime minister to the position

the government shall be formed within 20 days’ time after the NA first
session

the new government is to introduce its programme within 20 days

the National Assembly is to endorse the government’s programme within
5 days

Today, none of the press services of the Prosperous Armenia, the
Republican and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun have information on the
`back-stage’ negotiations.

According to our data, a memorandum will be signed on June 4, under
which the Republican and the Prosperous Armenia parties will form a
coalition and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun will co-operate with these
forces.

It is still unknown when the newly-elected deputies will get NA
mandates.
