Politics

There is information according to which Samvel Balasanyan, the head of the Orinats Yerkir party and Hovhannes Margaryan are going to leave the party. They weren’t' present at the briefing today, and Gagik Mkheyan and Gagik Avetisyan refrained from commenting on the information. «We have not heard of it», they said. They did not have information about the people leaving the regional structures of the party either. They only mentioned that during the 10-year history of the party many people left it, but the main party remained.

When one of the journalists asked, «And what about Sergo? », Gagik Avetisyan noted, «The main part of the Orinats Yerkir is the people». The deputies did not have information about pressure inflicted upon the regional structures of the party in order to crash it.

By the way, during the briefings the National Unity and the Orinats Yerkir party expressed readiness not to continue their quarrel and not to answer different statements about their relations.

Meanwhile, the pedagogues who left the Orinats Yerkir, come to the Republican party. “The Republican party does not have the problem of republicanizing anything. The fact that we did not argue about the post of the Minister of Education,” Galoust Sahakyan, head of the Republican Party faction in NA said. According to him, not only teachers, but also doctors and other specialists become member of their party, and the fact that on May 2 120 teachers became member of the party is not a unique one.

In contrast to the Republican party, it is not an easy thing to become member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. «The ARF does not have the problem of increasing the number of its members», head of the faction Hrayr Karapetyan said. He announced that it is not right when you make somebody member of a party contrary to his will. He added that taking the post of the Minister of Education the ARF is not going to force the teachers to join them.
