    Climate of fear reigning in Armenia - speaker

    Yerevan, 12 May: The mass departure of businessmen MPs from the
    faction of the Orinats Yerkir (Law-Governed Country) Party is due to
    the climate of fear reigning in Armenia, the speaker of the Armenian
    National Assembly and leader of the Orinats Yerkir Party, Artur
    Bagdasaryan, said at a news conference today.

    "I do not blame the MPs who quit our party because they took this step
    out of fear. The climate reigning in the republic frightened these
    people so much that as soon as they heard about disagreements between
    me and President Robert Kocharyan, they hurried to leave our party,"
    Bagdasaryan said. I have shared bread and salt with the MPs who quit
    the party for many years, he said.

    [Passage omitted: The Orinats Yerkir Party decided to quit the ruling
    coalition yesterday]
