BRATISLAVA, JUNE 20, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The
Social-Democratic "Smer" party won at the elections of the National
Council of Slovakia held on June 17 as a result of what serious changes
are expected in this counrty. The left came to take the place of the
previous coalition of the right orientation. The coalition authorities
proposed by the left must still be affirmed by the President of the
country. The Christian-Democratic Party cooperating with the local
Armenian community also gathered the necessary votes, and it will be
clear during the coming days if it will have a place in the coalitional
government or will become opposition after the eight-year power.

Ashot Grigorian, the Chairman of the Armenian community of Slovakia
informed in the interview to the Noyan Tapan correspondent that five of
the six parties entered the National Council "has a good or very good
experience and results" of the joint work with the Armenian community
and its Chairman. But, according to A.Grigorian, it is very desirable
to see in the coalition "especially the Christian-Democratic Party
(KDH) and the "For Democratic Slovakia" (HZDS) movement, joint work
with which promises wider horizons in the sphere of solution of
Armenian issues."
