ARMENIAN PM: RUMORS ON NEAR RESIGNATION OF GOVERNMENT EXPLOITED BY
SOME SEMI-PRO-GOVERNMENT AND PRO-GOVERNMENT STREAMS

YEREVAN, February 25. /ARKA/. The rumors of near resignation of the
Government are exploited by semi-pro-Government and pro-Government
streams, as Armenian Pm Andranik Margarian said in his interview to
the Armenian Publci TV. In his opinion, the opposition wishes to
change the power, but the purposes put forward by it one or two years
ago -President’s resignation, holding of extraordinary elections are
groundless. Therefore, in PM’s words, it is necessary to input in the
government `the worm of doubt’, the fanciful power change scenario,
where naturally the PM and Government members have their own role. At
that he stressed that this may not be implemented, adding that the
changes into the Government’s staff are always possible, however they
will not be related to demands put forward or similar reasons. T.M.
