DAVID HAROUTIUNIAN HAS NOT YET DECIDED WITH WHAT POLITICAL FORCE TO
PARTICIPATE IN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

YEREVAN, JULY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. "When the ways proposed by different
political forces, i.e. the practical steps how to achieve results
become clear, only then I can express my opinion," RA Justice
Minister David Haroutiunian declared in response to NT correspondent’s
question, with what political forces he is going to participate in
the forthcoming parliamentary elections. He thinks "this will take
place when the preelection struggle flares up, probably, in late 2006
or in early 2007."

The Minister emphasized that at the moment the political forces have
only outlined their goals, which are very good, but the concrete
practical and priority ways have not been presented yet.

According to D.Haroutiunian, discussions on joining different
political parties were held over the past 8 years, but after his
statement about his intention to be engaged in active politics he
has not yet received any proposal.

The Minister did not exclude that his decision not to take part in
the 2008 presidential elections can change emphasizing that everything
will depend on the situation.
