NO PRECONDITIONS FOR EXTRA PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION IN ARMENIA
Today there are no preconditions for extra parliamentary election in Armenia, Secretary of the National Security Council at the President of Armenia, Defense Minister Serge Sargsian stated in the course of a press conference today. In his words, the rumor that the ruling coalition has exhausted itself is not justified - otherwise it would have collapsed. The matter is that political parties in Armenia hold an electoral campaign just after the election, he added. Commenting over statements on a possible revolution in Armenia, Serge Sargsian noted there are people who do not see themselves in any other role than a revolutionary. In his words, Mikhail Saakashvili and Victor Yuschenko have chosen the civilized way of change of authorities, however it is possible only in case the ruling authorities are not able to fulfill their duties.
