    Armenian aide denies ex-speaker's statement about pressure on party

    Yerevan, 25 May: The statement by the leader of the Orinats Yerkir
    Party [Law-Governed Country Party], Artur Bagdasaryan, that Armenian
    President Robert Kocharyan or officials from the president's
    administration pressurized his party's businessmen members into
    leaving the party is wide of the mark, the presidential spokesman,
    Viktor Sogomonyan, told Arminfo while commenting on Bagdasaryan's
    statement on Shant TV yesterday.

    "Neither the president nor anyone else from the presidential
    administration has ever discussed with those businessmen MPs any issue
    connected with resignations from the Orinats Yerkir Party," Sogomonyan
    said.

    As for the reasons behind Bagdasaryan's statement, the presidential
    spokesman thinks that it could be due to his wish to lay the blame for
    the split in the party on others instead of looking for it inside the
    party.

    "Anyway, I think that one should leave with credit," Sogomonyan said.
