    ARMENIAN PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER RESIGNS

    Interfax, Russia
    May 22 2006

    YEREVAN. May 22 (Interfax) - Armenian parliamentary Speaker Artur
    Bagdasarian has tendered his resignation.

    Bagdasarian made the decision to resign and to quit his party following
    disagreements with the president and two other parties in the ruling
    coalition.

    "We think democratic reform should be deepened further, the fight
    against corruption stepped up and human rights defended more actively,"
    Bagdasarian told the parliament on Monday.

    "Recent opinion polls indicate that more than 70% of Armenian citizens
    live in an atmosphere of fear, and we will fight against this,"
    he said.
