From Times Wire Reports
Five senior Socialists have quit the party of former Communists in protest against its unwillingness to change, the state news agency BTA reported. The party is in turmoil after it was forced by a month of street protests and strikes to give up its bid to continue governing and submit to elections in April--more than 1 1/2 years early. Among those who resigned were the chief of the parliamentary committee for foreign affairs and the nation’s representative in the Council of Europe.
