“We are taking a step at reviving political parties that are not
operating. We derived the name of the political party Unification for
Armenia,” thus Vahram Baghdasaryan, the secretary of the People’s
Deputy Group, explains his and his supporters’ decision to run for
parliament in 2007.

Vahram Baghdasaryan thinks that the number of political parties
should be reduced, especially that “the programs and bylaws of the
political parties of this country hardly differ from one another. Our
aim was not to join active political parties for we have not joined
any political party for so many years.”

Presently, Vahram Baghdasaryan and his supporters are engaged in
changing the bylaws and programs of the political party, meetings
in the regions. “There will be meetings in all the regions.” Vahram
Baghdasaryan, a native of the region of Lori, started his meetings in
this region. By March 29 he has already had 6 meetings. The political
party will publicly state its political line and announce the date
of their assembly as soon as the bureau of the political party is
ready. “It will be in late summer, in fall. One of our aims is to
run for parliament in 2007 as a political organization,” said Vahram
Baghdasaryan to our news reporter.

Vahram Baghdasaryan does not deny cooperation with other NGOs, as
well as the People’s Deputy Group in the future. “We are ready to
cooperate with any political force, an alliance is not excluded. Our
doors are open to everyone.”
