YERKIR: REPUBLICAN PARTY TO HAVE TWO "FACTIONS"
- Citing its sources the paper says the fermentations in the faction of the ruling Republican party of Armenia continue. The faction is said to be divided into two poles - the one comprises of "main Republicans" and the other "the engaged" - people from other political forces that became MPs by the RPA's list. The paper says the RPA members do not treat them good and do not accept the existence of such political figures in their list. The paper claims yesterday at the ceremony of handing over the parliamentary mandates the cold relations between them were seen without even with naked eye.
