LEADER OF RAMKAVAR-AZATAKAN PARTY CONFIRMED ITS PARTICIPATION IN
FORTHCOMING PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

Leader of the Armenian Ramkavar- Azatakan Party Harutyun Arakelyan
has confirmed his decision to run for the Armenian Parliament under
majority system in spring 2007.

At today’s press-conference, H.Arakelyan said that his candidacy will
be represented in the 9th constituency of Yerevan. He hopes first and
foremost for the support of his friends living in that district, as
he also was born and grew up there. He is not troubled by MP Vladimir
Badalyan’s possible nomination from this district. H.Arakelyan
emphasized that he materially assesses his chances of victory and
will not make a tragedy of his defeat. According to him, under the
majority system 3-4 members of the Ramkavar-Azatakan Party are going
to run for Parliament. He noted that many Armenian politicians who
state about a great number of followers, would dream about such
partisans the Ramkavar-Azatakan has. He stressed that their party
will remain in politics for 25 years at least and will never be
ashamed of its words and actions.
