...AS ONE OPPOSITION LEADER CALLS FOR PRETERM ELECTIONS. On
13 October, Artashes Geghamian, leader of the left-wing
National Accord Party, told supporters in Yerevan that
Markarian's cabinet should acknowledge its ineffectiveness
and resign, and that President Robert Kocharian should
dissolve parliament and call preterm elections, RFE/RL's
Yerevan bureau reported. Geghamian said it is wrong to hope
for a reconciliation between the HZhK and HHK, arguing that
Miasnutiun lost its credibility after the leaders of its two
component parties were murdered in the 27 October parliament
shootings. LF
