GREY CADRINAL COMES OUT OF SHADE
Yerevan, July 21. ArmInfo. "RA Defense Minister Serge Sargsian
belongs to rare people that are political factors themselves and his
membership to the Republican Party greatly increases its authority,"
Armen Ashotian, member of RPA, stated at today’s press conference.
He added that Sargsian’s political authority is well known even out
of Armenia’s borders. At the same time, he expressed bewilderment
about the insinuations of some political figures about Sargsian’s
membership to RPA. Ashotian stated that never ending statements
on political crisis made by some of the political parties’ leaders
testify to their intention to spread their inner political crisis
on the whole political field of Armenia. The ideological platform
of RPA is based on the values of a national-conservative party in
the classical European sense of this definition. The ruling party is
going to cooperate with the local big entrepreneurs, paying special
attention to the defence of the national interests. RPA is going to
work with the classical slogan of the World War II: "Everything for
Front, Everything for the Victory!" Ashotian believes that in the
parliamentary elections in 2007 RPA will receive 35-40% of the votes.
Ashotian said nothing about the prospects of his opponents,
particularly about the newly founded "Prospering Armenia" party,
stating that this party hasn’t been established as a political
structure yet.
