YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, NOYAN TAPAN. "A hot season, in the political
sense, expects us: all the political forces prepare for the coming
parliamentary elections. So, the nearest months will pass just under
that flag," Hrayr Karapetian, the ARF faction head of the RA National
Assembly stated at the August 29 press conference. As for the ARF plans
of the nearest future, he stated that the regular General Assembly
of the party will take place on September 7 where most important
political issues will be solved, among them issues relating to the
coming parliamentary elections will be discussed and checked. Hrayr
Karapetian reminded that by now, the ARF has participated in the
elections apart of any alliances and unions, however, he mentioned
that cooperation with other parties is inevitable in elections. As
for development of mutual relations between the Republican Party
of Armenia and the "Bargavach Hayastan" (Prosperous Armenia) party,
Hrayr Karapetian mentioned that talks about serious conflicts between
them are baseless. He also emphasized that the two parties, taking
into account the administrative and financial factor, are serious
pretenders to places of the National Assembly. "We think that the
elections must pass in a civilized atmosphere and not come out of
borders of moral norms," Hrayr Karapetian stated.
