Armenian Foreign Minister to fire six diplomats who joined opposition
YEREVAN. Feb 26 (Interfax) - Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanian has said he was going to sign an order to dismiss the
ministry's six employees who signed a statement in defiance of the
presidential election results.
"The law concerning diplomats does not allow such things to happen,"
Oskanian told journalists on Monday.
The diplomats "joined the movement led by a person who has long
called Armenia a nation of outlaws and its president their leader,
the chief outlaw," he said.
"Which means that they agree with that. The president had nothing
else to do but to sign the order [for their dismissal]," Oskanian
said.
