ORINATS YERKIR QUIT THE COALITION
Support A1+!Late in the evening the enlarged session of the political council of the party “Orinats Yerkir” adopted a decision to quit the coalition.

More than 40 members of the administration of the party also participated in the session. According to the official statement, their main disagreement with their colleagues from the coalition was not only their approach towards the 2001-2003 privatization program but also their concern about the privatization of the Metsamor nuclear power station.
The coalition memorandum presupposes that the structure leaving the coalition must call back all its members in the government, that’s to say all the Ministers will resign too.
Tomorrow at 02:00 PM Arthur Baghdasaryan will render a press conference to inform details about his resignation and the decision of the party.
