The issue of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party’s joining the ruling coalition
is not in debate, Aghvan Vardanyan, ARFD Supreme Body representatives,
MP, told ArmInfo.
Meantime, a newspaper Hraparak (Square) writes the ARFD and the
authorities are actively negotiating for the Party’s joining the
coalition. They say the authorities are ready to provide 5 ministerial
portfolios, mainly in the social sector, to ARFD. “There are no
negotiations. Consequently, no issues are discussed,” Vardanyan said.
Earlier, ARFD left the bloc of the four parliamentary opposition
parties actually supporting the government-initiated constitutional
reform. In addition, after their recent conflict, President Serzh
Sargsyan and Gagik Tsarukyan had a reconciliation meeting brokered
by the ARFD.
