YEREVAN March 21
Leaders of the four Armenian parties, the Republican, Prosperous
Armenia, Country Of Law and Dashnaktsutyun, have signed a joint
political agreement setting up a ruling coalition in the country.
"Today we have formed a four-party coalition in order to conduct
major reforms, major changes in our country," Armenian Prime Minster
and president-elect Serzh Sargsyan, who is also the leader of the
Republican Party, said after the signing ceremony on Friday.
"Changes will be conducted on a large scale and will be painful for
many," said the Armenian president-elect.
Sargsyan said the creation of this coalition is an important event in
the political life of the country, because earlier parties would only
sign agreements to form a coalition government.
