ARMENIAN MP URGES SPEAKER TO RESIGN

Regnum, Moscow
11 May 06

11 May: “It will be correct, if Artur Bagdasaryan (speaker of the
Armenian parliament and leader of the Orinats Yerkir [Law-Governed
Country] Party) resigns, and the party leaves the [ruling] coalition,”
the secretary of the party’s parliamentary faction, Egine Bisharyan,
told journalists today.

She said that Bagdasaryan himself and party members also agree with
this position. At the same time, she pointed out that the party is
determined to fight and regardless of whether it will be represented
by 13, seven or three MPs in parliament, it will act clearly and in
a coordinated way.

Bisharyan said that the departure of businessmen MPs from the party
is a political action undertaken from “above”.

Five businessmen MPs have left the party over the past few days.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
