[ 27 Apr 2009 11:43 ]

Yerevan `APA. Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaksutyun decided
to leave the government coalition, APA reports quoting Armenia Today
website. The decision was made at the party’s meeting on April 26, but
no official announcement was made on that. Dashnaksutyun member Armen
Rustamyan didn’t join the Security Council meeting on April 25.

Party’s bureau chief for political affairs Kiro Manoyan said
Dashnaksutyun considered itself deceived because it was not informed
about the agreement with Turkey.

The dashnaks have three ministerial posts and several deputy ministers
in the government of Armenia. One of the vice speakers of the
parliament is also from Dashnaksutyun.
