LDU MAY COMBAT ELECTIONS ON ITS OWN OR IN UNION

Seiran Avagyan, leader of Liberal-Democratic Union
(LDU) of Armenia, told reporters after the fourth
session of the party that consultations are held with
other political forces on possible union to combat
elections in the parliament. It does not mean that LDU
must by all means participate in a block. Avagyan
believes the party has all chances to get into the
parliament. During the last parliamentary elections,
the party collected 4.7 percent of votes and did not
manage to get 0.3 percent to get into the parliament.
Avagyan says ideologically close parties, both liberal
and democratic, may join LDU. Avagyan refused to say
what party they are negotiating with promising to say
that in 5-6 days.
