    After Arthur Baghdasaryan announced about his resignation Ambassadors
    of several Western countries expressed desire to meet head of the
    NA "Democratic Delegate" faction Karen Karapetyan. According to
    our sources, the meetings have taken place, but we failed to find
    out the theme of conversation with the Ambassadors. We checked the
    information in the secretariat of the faction, but we again we were
    not given information about the theme.

    We also managed to find out that Karen Karapetyan has been offered
    the post of the NA President which he turned down. The coalition
    decided to elect Karapetyan at least as deputy President of the NA
    but this offer was turned down too. According to our information,
    the negotiations with Karapetyan are still continuing.

    "If the offer to join the coalition were made 1-2 years ago, it
    would be accepted. But as far as there is only a year left until
    the new elections, joining the coalition now would mean to take
    responsibility for the whole period. It is a matter of calculation",
    NA deputy Shavarsh Kocharyan told "A1+".

    According to head of the Republican Party faction Galoust Sahakyan,
    "the problem is not the time but the character and principles of the
    people." He confessed that he would like Karen Karapetyan to become
    President of the NA.

    And still, Shavarsh Kocharyan is content with the fact that the
    political powers think about their future, "By now the authorities
    were sure that they will decide the fate of the future Parliament
    but now they have doubts. This is a positive change."

    Let us remind you that the faction "Democratic Delegate" is the second
    power in the Parliament after the Republican Party. De jure it has
    16 deputies, whereas de facto it has 17.
