President Serzh Sargsyan late on Monday accepted the resignations of three Dashnak ministers and signed decrees appointing their fellow party members to succeed them in their positions.

Veteran government members Levon Mkrtchyan, David Lokyan and Aghvan Vardanyan had tendered their resignations as ministers of education, agriculture and labor and social affairs respectively after the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF, Dashnaktsutyun) announced the new composition of its supreme party body, the Bureau, last week.

The opposition movement led by former president Levon Ter-Petrosyan held a congress in a closely packed conference hall in the Government Building Friday. More than a thousand people had gathered outside in Melik-Adamyan Street while inside it was even difficult to find a place for standing.

Opposition leaders had long encountered problems in trying to find premises for holding the meeting. There was even some talk about a possible gathering in neighboring Georgia, but the newly appointed prime minister had magnanimously let the opposition have the premises, saying that the government’s conference hall was provided to all political forces on equal terms.
