ARF dissatisfied with Armenian government, but does not require its resignation
Armenia' current socio-economic situation will be discussed at the upcoming conference of the Socialist International on March 25 and 26 in Yerevan, Armen Rustamyan , representative of the Supreme Body of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun told a news conference, jointly held with the vice-president of Socialist International Mary Titizian in Yerevan.

According Rustmyan, anti-crisis program of the government has failed. "The government significantly deviated from the social prerogatives, reflected in the memorandum of the ruling coalition. The government currently faces the crisis of economic management, since more problems arise than we solve," he said.

According to Mr. Rustamyan, Armenia' executive body is not specifying the size of the consumer basket to avoid from stating the unemployment level in the country.

Answering a question whether ARF demands the resignation of the government, Rustamyan noted that "it is impossible to demand the resignation of the government, but a vote of no confidence can be declared. However, faction did not make such a decision".
