The sitting of the People’s Party Board scheduled on February 26 was
canceled because of some technical problems. To note, the sitting
will affirm the party’s decision to run for the elections alone. The
issue of proportional system is still under consideration.

"Our stance is the following; we have always said that we are ready to
run for the elections alone. On the other hand, we are convinced that
all the oppositional parties must cooparate and support each other
to prevent election frauds before, during and after the elections",
Ruzan Khachatryan, member of the party’s board informed A1+.

She says Stepan Demirchyan is not against alliances.

Furthermore, Demirchyan’s accepts the proposal of "Alternative"
Public-Political Initiative to run for the elections in alliance in
case the front involves all the oppositional forces.

But it is already known that "National Unity" and Orinats Yerkir Party
will participate in the elections alone that’s why the question cannot
be discussed further on.

During the consultations of People’s Party, Heritage Party and
Hanrapetutyun Stepan Demirchyan made another proposal- to involve
Raffi Hovannesian in the alliance but it implied the principle of
alliance formation and proportion and was inadmissible for the other
three parties, Ruzan Khachatryan added.
