Armenian President's Resignation Inevitable - Opposition Leader

More on Kocharyan's troubles, from Mediamax news agency:

"The overthrow of the regime of Armenia's illegitimate president Robert Kocharyan is inevitable," Albert Bazeyan, the chairman of the Republic Party and leader of the radical opposition, said in Yerevan today. Addressing a briefing at the Armenian National Assembly today, Bazeyan stated the opposition's resolve to obtain the holding of early "free and fair" presidential election. "Although the power will formally go to the speaker of parliament or the head of the government after the president leaves, diarchy will be established in the country until the new election is held and the main levers will be in the opposition's hands," he said.
