YEREVAN, April 27. /ARKA/. Armenian opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan, speaking today at a news conference, said that he finds election of a neutral prime minister an absurd idea.



“I want to understand who then will be responsible?” he said. “If this happens, and everybody agrees, and something bad will be in his activity, who will be responsible for that? The Republican Party of Armenia?



They no longer have something to lose, and the whole responsibility will remain on us.”



In the current situation, if the responsibility is borne by particular political force, then the candidate should be from it.



“This is the issue of political responsibility, since a candidate with the responsibility, which be borne by others, is absurd,” Nikol Pashinyan said.



On April 23, Serzh Sargsyan, who was appointed one week earlier by the Armenian parliament as prime minister amid widespread disaffection for him, resigned under the pressure of mass protests against his premiership. On the same day, Armen Sarkissian, Armenian president accepted the government’s resignation. --0----
