THE YOUNGSTERS COOKING A POLITICAL SOUP

Leader of the Progressive Party Tigran Urikhanyan held a press conference
today to inform the journalists that they will join the Justice Party. By
the way, the party has nothing to do with the Justice bloc. Tigran
Urikhanyan announced that they carry out negotiations to join the
left-socialist powers.

Tigran Urikhanyan also informed that they will create a union of
national-patriotic powers joining together right, left and pro-governmental
powers. These are parties which are not very famous for the society but
which all together gathered 15% votes in the Parliamentary elections.

What if uniting together political parties of different ideology, trends and
plans the Progressive Party cooks a `political soup’? The party leader
refused to answer this question. Neither did he say who will lead the new
union. He underlined that `If Serge Sargsyan puts forward his candidacy for
the coming Presidential elections, we will by all means defend him’.

The leader of the Justice Party with which the Progressive Party United
today announced that they form an alliance `to do good for this country’.
One of the good things, according to him, was the cleaning of the walls of
Yerevan from posters. With this their party saves the money of the
communities and pays taxes to the budget. He did not explain where the money
to be spent on the wall cleaning comes from.
