Armenian government’s resignation may shock country, union of merchants states
YEREVAN, March 11. /ARKA/. The Armenian Government’s resignation is
undesirable and may prove to be a serious stress for the country,
Tsolvard Gevorgyan, Chairwoman of the Union of Merchants of Armenia
(UMA) told reporters.
RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and a few Government members were
recently reported to have sent in their resignations as a result of the
economic problems, particularly of the exchange fluctuations and the
impact of the global economic and financial crisis on Armenia.
`I do not think that the current economic situation in Armenia will
result in the Government’s resignation,’ Gevorgyan said.
`The Government’s resignation will not facilitate the solution to the
problems. Moreover, the policy of reforms adopted by the new Government
has not yet been accomplished and may even be endangered,’ Gevorgyan
said.
The Armenian press reports that the opposition mass media received an
order to discredit the Armenian
Prime Minister with the purpose of discrediting the Government and
splitting the government ranks. `0–
