Andranik Margaryan, chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
and the prime minister of Armenia, welcomed today the opening session
of the Supreme Body of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF)
saying RPA has passed a long way with ARF. "The formation of the
political coalition in 2003 is a bright proof of it," Margaryan says.

RPA chairman indicated that the two parties have a lot of similarities
of dispositions. Even in case of difference of opinions, it was
possible to come up with a common decision, he said. The prime minister
also said there are many unresolved challenges in the country and
the two parties should cooperate and support each other.

Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan said, in his turn, that the meeting
is held at the doors of 15th anniversary of the Armenian statehood
and 2007 parliamentary elections. "We managed to create a strong
base in the course of 15 years which can support a stronger and
more prosperous statehood," the head of FM said. He also said "our
society needs internal exactingness for effective fight against evil,
corruption and criminalism."/Panorama.am/
