The paper says particularly during these days it is spoken about the resignation of the leader of the Orinats Yerkir party Arthur Baghdasaryan from the office of the Secretary of the National Security Council. The paper says it will be like resignation of NA Chairman Hovik Abrahamyan, in the sense that Baghdasaryan will state that he will leave the office to coordinate the works of the pre-electoral headquarter of his party. The paper writes that leaving the office Baghdasaryan will try to play a role of opposition and if with some miracle he manages to do it his party will participate in the elections separately. If no, continues the daily, which is more probable, the Orinats Yerkir party will get 2-3 places in the RPA list and Baghdasaryan may become for instance assistant to the deputy head of the RPA pre-electoral headquarter.
