Prosperous Armenia welcomes any step to dismiss PM Sargsyan – paper

PanARMENIAN.Net - Any step to relive Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan of post is welcome by Prosperous Armenia party, Haykakan Zhamanak daily quoted the party’s spokesman Tigran Urikhanyan as saying.

Given the parliamentary groups’ stance on Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s policy, measures are expected to be taken to bring about 2011 budget implementation failure.

The parliament is due to discuss the report on 2011 budget implementation in its fall session. Under the National Assembly regulations, if the proposal to approve the budget implantation doesn’t get the necessary number of votes, it may question the government’s future activity. With RA president not authorized to dismiss the prime minister, under RA Constitution he may be relieved of post either after he sends in resignation, or after the National Assembly expresses displeasure with his performance.

Thus, the upcoming discussion of budget implementation is a chance for “Prosperous Armenia to bring about prime minister’s resignation,” the paper says.
