Yerevan, 27 April: The [Armenian Revolutionary Federation]
Dashnaktsutyun party has withdrawn from Armenia’s ruling coalition
and will appear as a new opposition force.
Mediamax agency reported that Armen Rustamyan, a senior member of
Dashnaktsutyun, made a relevant statement today. He noted that
insuperable differences in foreign policy issues, including the
party’s disagreement with the policy of the Armenian leadership on
the normalization of relations with Turkey had led to the withdrawal
from the coalition.
The quadrilateral agreement on the formation of a political coalition
was sighed in Yerevan on 21 March 2008 between the parties: Republican
Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir [Law-Governed Country], Prosperous
Armenia and Dashnaktsutyun.
