/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The day before electoral campaign has started in
Armenia. Already today "National Unity" and "Orinats Yerkir" have
published their electoral programs. "National Unity" in the program
presents its national projects, ideology, anti-corruption policy, and
necessity of reorganization and additional reforms in such spheres of
public life, as health care, economy, education and science. "While
preparing the program we took into account Russia’s experience in
working out National Projects, US’s experience in overcoming the
Great Depression, as well as Germany’s experience," leader of party
Artashes Geghamyan stated.

The main political task for "Orinats Yerkir" in foreign policy
is membership and consistent deepening of relations with European
structures, leader of party and ex-Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan stated
on Monday speaking on the presentation of his party’s electoral
program. He underlined that "Orinats Yerkir" considers consistent
deepening of relations with European structures as a goal for EU
membership. At the same time he stressed the party accentuates
deepening of relations but not membership to NATO.

As other priorities for foreign policy Arthur Baghdasaryan underlined
the development of bilateral ties with Russia, deepening of relations
with the U.S., peaceful and mutually acceptable solution to the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict, "Novosti Armenia" reports.
