    109 deputies arrived at the Parliament hall today to be present at
    the resignation of the NA President.

    First Arthur Baghdasaryan read out the names of the deputies who left
    the OYP faction. Then RA deputy Speaker Tigran Torosyan informed
    that according to the 20th article of the NA regulations Arthur
    Baghdasaryan has submitted a letter of resignation from the post of
    the NA President.

    Arthur Baghdasaryan started his resignation speech thanking all
    the deputies irregardless of their political beliefs and attitudes
    towards him, the NA staff, the journalists and his colleague parties -
    the ARF and the Republican Party.

    Then he started criticizing. "Social surveys show that 70% of the
    population of Armenia is afraid. We will fight against the society
    of fear. We will fight for the free society", Arthur Baghdasaryan
    announced today. He said that if the present rates of birth and death
    are preserved, even if no one leaves the country, in 2050 there will
    be 500 thousand people left.

    "When we said that the state must support young families they said it
    was populism. It is not populism; it is the road to the development
    of the country. We think that social-economic reforms must be
    deeper. Being part of the authorities for three years we tried to
    introduce our approaches. Many good things have been done, but many
    have been omitted. And now we have decided to follow our own route".

    After Arthur Baghdasaryan, Mher Shahgeldyan, the President of the NA
    Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs,
    and Gagik Mkheyan, the President of the NA Standing Committee on
    Social Affairs, Health Care and Environment resigned too. After that
    the members of the OYP left the hall.

    Before that Tigran Torosyan who presided over the session thanked
    Arthur Baghdasaryan and the OYP for the joint work for the last
    three years.

    By the way, Arthur Baghdasaryan announced that in 2003 he was honestly
    for Robert Kocharyan.
