YEREVAN (Noyan Tapan)–Social Democratic Union faction leader Paruir Hairikian stated in Parliament Tuesday that two months earlier he asked President Robert Kocharian for resignation as presidential advisor.
"But it never means that I am withdrawing my cooperation: it is conditioned by the oncoming legislative elections in which I’d rather participate as a free citizen. I will continue working in the commissions I’m in charge of as long as I am useful," said Hairikian.
