Will the government resign or not?
"Amendments to the tax legislation can lead to the government's resignation," the Heritage Party announced during today's parliamentary briefings.
The Party Leader, Armen Martirosian, says the demand for the government's resignation will not be posed by the Heritage. Martirosian's predictions were not accepted unanimously by the NA forces.
"What do you mean by saying the government will resign? How can you ask for a resignation of a party which is represented in the Armenian government?" said member of the Orinats Yerkir Party Artsruni Aghajanian.
He reminded that the government had been formed in the result of a parliamentary election. Artsruni Aghajanian thinks tax amendments can hardly cause a government reshuffle.
With regard to the upcoming mayoral election, Mr. Aghajanian assured his colleagues that Yerevan will have a coalition government with the OYK having an important role.
"No force can gain 40 per cent of votes during the mayoral election," said Mr. Aghajanian.
The Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) also found Heritage's predictions ungrounded.
"I did know that the Heritage is gifted but I didn't know that the Party can make predictions," said BHK member Naira Zurabian thinks the government will not resign.
"I have some reservations wit the packet of tax amendments and I am going to raise my concerns during the next four-day sitting," she added.
The Leader of the Republican Party, Galust Sahakian considered the rumours about the government's alleged resignation a lie spread by the opposition.
"All their efforts are in vain. The opposition should serve as an alternative and needn't disseminate fabricated rumours."
The ARF-Dashnaktsutyun also excluded the government's resignation. Dashnaktsutyuan's candidate for the city mayor, Artsvik Minasian, says "unless the government returns to the norms ratified by a 2008 crisis management program, its resignation will be inevitable."
