YEREVAN, April 27. /ARKA/. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), known also as Dashnaktsutyun that chose to withdraw from the ruling coalition with the Republican Party of Armenia on April 25, has made a statement today in support of the resolution of the political crisis triggered by the popular anti-government movement within the framework of constitutionality and laws.

The opposition says after making prime minister Serzh Sargsyan to step down their next goal is to elect a popular prime minister and make the ruling Republican Party that has the majority in the parliament, cede power.
The Armenian popular movement nominated Nikol Pashinyan for the post of prime minister at an anti-government demonstration in Yerevan on April 25.
In response to Pashinyan’s offer to hold talks with Karapetyan today morning, the latter’s press office said the acting minister rejected the proposal because he believes that taking part in ‘talks’ that have no chance of finding a solution will be useless.”
Speaking at a news conference today morning Pashinyan argued that Karapetyan was repeating Serzh Sargsyan’s mistakes, adding that the demonstrations would continue. He accused the ruling Republican Party of seeking to deepen the crisis.
Pashinyan said his supporters will hold rallies in Gyumri today and then in Vanadzor the next day before returning to the capital Yerevan Sunday to resume protests. -0-
