    NOT ONLY ARE WE NOT BORN MINISTERS BUT ALSO DON'T DIE AS MINISTERS
    KIMA YEGHIAZARYAN

    Member of ARFD bureau, Head of ARFD parliamentary faction Vahan
    Hovhannisyan was the guest of `Novosti-Armenia' international
    information agency.


    Though it is already known that the decision of the Ministers belonging
    to Dashnaktsutyun party to resign was a personal decision the questions
    still seem to need clarifications.

    Vahan Hovhannisyan underscored that the Ministers belonging to
    Dashnaktsutyun party were absolutely not obliged to resign according to
    the regulations of the party. They were simply conscious that they
    couldn't hold two positions at once. Which means: `If the Minister
    belonging to Dashnaktsutyun party shoulders certain responsibility
    towards his party, then it is hard to imagine this person as part of
    the body towards which he has certain responsibilities. That is why our
    friends took the decision of the party as natural and obligatory and
    decided to resign. Though I must repeat they didn't have to do so,' he
    said.

    `To what extent does the step taken by the Ministers belonging to
    Dashnaktsutyun party derive from the national interests, especially
    because `professional ministers' have resigned? Is there any guarantee
    that the ones to replace them will be as professional as the former
    ones and will manage to continue the process of the reforms?'

    The member of ARFD bureau firstly expressed his gratitude to the author
    of the question for his high estimation and said: ` Firstly I must say
    that we are not born as ministers we usually become ministers during
    the process of the work, during which we gain great experience. And
    secondly why do you think that they will not use their experience for
    the benefit of the Republic of Armenia. These people will continue to
    serve Armenia and Armenian people as well as whole Diaspora. And, one
    more thing: not only are we not born as ministers, but also die as
    ministers. Which means a person can't work as a Minister whole life.
    This is normal. And I'm proud of the step taken by my friends. They
    easily resigned. I know there are lots of Ministers for whom resigning
    is equal to committing suicide,' the speaker said and assured that the
    new Ministers will be as professional as the former ones and they won't
    disappoint us.

    Armenian Pan National Movement - ARFD mutual accusations are
    well-known, ARFD states that the movement headed by Levon Ter-Petrosyan
    is financed from `outside' and the latter continuously reminds us that
    some members of ARFD bureau are not RA citizens: `so Dashnaktsutyun
    doesn't have the right to touch the topic of being financed from
    `outside'.

    Touching upon this issue Vahan Hovhannisyan said the members belonging
    to Dashnaktsutyun party who live in foreign countries from 1991 want to
    become RA citizens, but they were refused. After which, the problem was
    in the legislative gaps that they didn't submit applications. He also
    assured that very soon all the members of Dashnaktsutyun party will
    become RA citizens. So there is no need to speculate this issue.
