    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."
