The establishment of new political parties on the threshold of
parliamentary elections is a good political trick of the country’s
authorities, Armenian MP Vazgen Manoukyan, the leader of the opposition
National-Democratic Union, told an ArmInfo correspondent.
According to him, the new parties like the Prosperous Armenia aim
to take a part of the anti-authorities electorate upon themselves,
which will help the ruling regime hold its power. Both the Prosperous
Armenia and the ruling party are managed by the same center. At
first sight, the Prosperous Armenia has an opportunity to obtain the
anti-authorities electorate’s votes, but the establishment of this
party may explain the forthcoming electoral fraud, V.Manoukyan noted.
