    YEREVAN, APRIL 30, NOYAN TAPAN. The ARFD Armenian Supreme Body at its
    April 29 meeting discussing political coalition's proposal voiced by
    NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamian the same day at the parliament decided to
    accept it. Thus, ARFD members Artur Aghabekian and Armen Rustamian will
    continue holding the posts of Chairmen of the Standing Committee of
    Defence, National Security and Internal Affairs and Standing Committee
    on Foreign Relations, respectively. Faction head, ARFD Bureau member
    Vahan Hovhannisian stated at the April 30 NA sitting.

    "The ideas being the basis of coalition's proposal are close to us,
    and we ourselves in the coalition and outside it for many years have
    struggled for expansion of opposition's rights in our country and thus
    formation of a civilized field for a dispute," he said. H. Hovhannisian
    also stated that in their turn, they are also "ready to introduce a new
    culture to Armenia's political sphere, to political relations and being
    an opposition are for and will struggle for the opposition to have more
    counterbalance and reserve mechanisms working with the authorities.

    It should be mentioned that due to ARFD's decision on coming out of
    the political coalition, the above mentioned committees' ARFD chairmen,
    as well as NA Vice-Speaker Hrayr Karapetian introduced applications of
    resignation on April 27. According to the NA Regulations, applications
    on resignation are considered accepted if they are not withdrawn by
    written applications within three days.
