NEWLY-CREATED COALITION SHOULD IMPLEMENT REFORMS OF NEW QUALITY IN
ARMENIA, ARTUR BAGHDASARIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, MARCH 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The signing of the coalition agreement
on March 21 by four forces represented in the RA National Assembly is
an important event in the political history of Armenia, Artur
Baghdasarian, chairman of Orinats Yerkir party (OYP) making part of the
coalition, stated this at the 6th forum of the OYP Women’s Union on
March 22. In his words, Republican Party of Armenia, ARF, Prosperous
Armenia party and OYP – the parties to have assumed power in the
country should implement reforms of new quality and find solutions to
many old problems of Armenia.

A. Baghdasarian said that the peculiarity of the coalition agreement is
that a considerable electorate is behind each of the sides. Besides, in
his opinion, the coalition form of governance will allow "to throw off
the current tension in the country and lead Armenia along a path of
natural development". The OYP leader underlined the importance of
easing the tension as the unstable internal political situation
endangers the reputation of the country, and on the other hand, it
gives an occasion to Azerbaijan to violate the ceasefire on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani borderline and to get "sheap dividends" through
adoption of anti-Armenian resolutions in international structures.
