    Armenian leader reacts "calmly" to speaker's resignation, spokesman says

    Yerevan, 12 May: The Armenian president's press secretary, Viktor
    Sogomonyan, today said that "the head of the state has reacted calmly
    to the Law-Governed Country Party's departure from the ruling
    coalition, as well as to the resignation of the speaker of the
    Armenian National Assembly."

    Commenting on the president's attitude to the latest developments over
    the Law-Governed Country Party and its leader Artur Bagdasaryan,
    Sogomonyan said that "the changes in the composition of the coalition
    are an everyday occurrence in any civilized country".

    "In this case nothing extraordinary has happened, especially, if we
    take into account the fact that there have been certain disagreements
    among members of the coalition, which should have been exacerbated
    during the pre-election period. We have been witnessing this over the
    last few months," Sogomonyan said.

    Sogomonyan said with certainty that the recent developments "will not
    cause a political crisis in the country".

    "The 'divorce' was carried out in an open and civilized manner. The
    Armenian Republican Party and Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation-Dashnaktsutyun will continue to work within the framework
    of the political memorandum. The government and the Armenian National
    Assembly will continue to work as normal," Sogomonyan said.
