ARMENIAN PRESIDENT NOT GOING TO DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT OR REPLACE PRIME MINISTER
Armenian President Robert Kocharian has denied the hearsay on his intention to dissolve the Parliament or replace the Prime Minister. "If the Government fulfills the budget for 100% and secures the economic growth, replacing the Prime Minister or dissolving the Parliament does not make sense," R. Kocharian told journalists today. "Moreover, the steps of the opposition promote more active and consolidated work of the ruling coalition," the Armenian leader noted. R. Kocharian also stated that "in case the opposition tries to overstep the constitutional limits, the response will again be adequate."
