YEREVAN, MARCH 5, NOYAN TAPAN. The "Women’s" alliance which unites
leader women anxious about the future of Armenia and struggling
for that idea, proposed political parties to involve women in the
transitional places of their proportional list. Alliance coordinator
Tsovinar Gevorgian stated about it at the March 2 press conference. In
her words, a woman deputy of the National Assembly must have clearly
displayed political activity experience, professional abilities. In
the words of Alvard Petrosian, a member of the NA ARF faction, all
those questions which "as a disaster and danger hang on the Armenian
people’s and society’s head," first of all relate to women. Touching
upon the problem of women’s involvement in proportional electoral lists
of the political parties, she mentioned that they, as politicians,
must be so formed to have the right to themselves make a choice in
that issue. It was also mentioned that the alliance envisages to hold
a number of events, including exhibitions, different meetings, within
the framework of the women’s one month (from March 8 International
Women’s Day to April 7 Mothers’ and Beauty Day).
