YEREVAN, APRIL 19, ARMENPRESS: A member of the Armenian outgoing
parliament from the Republican Party, Armen Ashotian, said today
the country’s next parliament will be the ‘mirror reflection’ of
Armenia’s complementarity policy and all political parties-pro-Russian,
pro-European and pro-American- stand good chances to overcome the 5
percent barrier and win seats in the National Assembly.

Ashotian, the youngest member of the outgoing parliament, said his
Republican Party wants clean and just elections more than any other
party, "because we bear the major responsibility for ongoing national
processes."

He also claimed that his party enjoys the biggest popularity and has
more supporters than its rivals and ‘this is why we see no need to
deviate from our natural course."

Ashotian added that fraudulent May 12 parliamentary elections would
cast a shadow on the process of efforts for peaceful settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
