PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan takes ARF Dashnaktsutyun-submitted vote of no-confidence against the government in its stride. As the Prime Minister remarked, “this is the method of a political struggle our colleagues have opted for. The step aims at boosting their party’s authority on the eve of the elections to secure necessary votes. I urge to take this method of a civilized struggle in its stride.”

Dwelling on the fact that the suggestion of non-confidence vote was supported by 10 parliamentarians while 13 of them voted against it, Sargsyan noted that most probablyy the issue aroused no serious interest among the MPs.
