YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Armenian Revolutionary Federation will present its
ideas and platform but that does not mean it will not respond to the
libels, Hrair Karapetian, the leader of ARF faction in parliament has
said.

He said that the party’s logo in the parliamentary election will be
"Your old friend is Dashnaktsutyun." Speaking of consultation to
ensure free and fair election, Karapetian said that in District 4
where is running, such consultations have been held.

Stepan Zakarian of the People’s Party of Armenia said that the
proposal voiced by Armenian Democratic Party leader Aram G. Gasparian
to set up a special council is not suitable. He said the opposition
forces should cooperate in electoral commissions.

Galust Sahakian of the Republican Party said his party does not hold
negotiations with other parties, including the Prosperous Armenia,
with an aim to hold free and fair election. "There is no such a need
but we are adamant to prevent possible fraud," he said.
