    POLITICAL DIVORCE IN ARMENIAN WAY


    Arthur Baghdasaryan confirmed that Orinats Yerkir leaves the ruling
    coalition in a press conference today. He said that an extraordinary
    session of the party decided to `leave the coalition in a civilized
    manner.' Baghdasaryan also said that the coalition council decided
    today that all Orinats Yerkir members should resign from their
    posts. A. Baghdasaryan stated that the coalition has had many disputes
    within itself in the course of the last three years, which have caused
    scandals. Baghdasaryan grouped the reasons for the political divorce
    into three groups. NA Chairman pointed out to disagreements on
    interpolitical and social-economic issues (privatization programs,
    annual reports of the Inspection Chamber.) The second group make up
    issues on democratic reforms (disagreements concerned on fight against
    corruption). And the third group of disagreements relates to foreign
    policy issues, saying that Orinats Yerkir supports European
    integration and that is a principle matter for them.'

    A. Baghdasaryan said that he is going to submit his case for
    resignation on May 22 session which will be confirmed within 5
    days. After that the resignation will be approved. Baghdasaryan
    refused to comment on the act of city construction minister who left
    the party.

    `We are going to be an opposition,' Arthur Baghdasaryan said also
    saying that neither the ruling power warmly welcomed them nor will the
    opposition do so. However, we will find our place in the field,
    Orinats Yerkir leader says. /Panorama.am/
