YEREVAN, March 11. /ARKA/. The Armenian Government’s resignation is undesirable and may prove to be a serious stress for the country, Tsolvard Gevorgyan, Chairwoman of the Union of Merchants of Armenia (UMA) told reporters.

RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and a few Government members were recently reported to have sent in their resignations as a result of the economic problems, particularly of the exchange fluctuations and the impact of the global economic and financial crisis on Armenia.
 
“I do not think that the current economic situation in Armenia will result in the Government’s resignation,” Gevorgyan said.
 
“The Government’s resignation will not facilitate the solution to the problems. Moreover, the policy of reforms adopted by the new Government has not yet been accomplished and may even be endangered,” Gevorgyan said.

The Armenian press reports that the opposition mass media received an order to discredit the Armenian
Prime Minister with the purpose of discrediting the Government and splitting the government ranks. –0--
