Armenia to hold parliamentary elections May 12

Armenia will hold parliamentary elections on May 12.

Armenian President Robert Kocharyan signed a relevant decree on
Monday.

The upcoming elections “will not constrain the president in any way.
Robert Kocharyan will continue working as usual and will demand the
same from all executive agencies,” presidential spokesman Viktor
Sogomonyan said.

He ruled out that the president might be included on the election
list of a political party.

The current parliament’s four-year term ends in May. It was elected
in 2003.
