We have learned that the Republican Party failed to persuade the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun to take up government posts in return for supporting
Serge Sargsyan and not putting up a candidate in the presidential
election of 2008. The intensive negotiations lasting for a few
days now have produced no result. The ARF Dashnaktsutyun will make
a statement on these days, if nothing changes over this time, and
reject the coalition. However, the party may also give freedom to the
ARF members who worked minister with the quota of the party until May
12, i.e. Levon Mkrtichyan, Davit Lokyan, Aghvan Vardanyan and Norair
Davidyan. The party will leave it up to them to decide to remain at
their government posts, if the Republican Party agrees to appoint
them without the ARF’s agreement regarding the election of 2008.
