Garnik Isagulyan, Adviser to RA President on National Security Issues,
Head of the Institute of Political Research, stated in Yerevan today
that the research of the pre-election campaign of various parties
showed that the political sphere of Armenia is distinctly formed.

Garnik Isagulyan told a press conference that the results of the
research, conducted in all the regions of Armenia by the employees
of the institute he heads, reveal that an active work with the
rural population is carried out by the "Prosperous Armenia" Party,
Dashnaktsutiun and the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA). The Adviser
to RA President noted that the three parties secure balance of the
political field, as they have different political orientation.

Turning to the opportunities of the opposition forces, Garnik Isagulyan
stated that for a whole year the representatives of pro-authority
forces were advising them to get united; however, the ambitions of
the heads of opposition parties did not allow them to form a strong
alternative to the present authorities.

Mr.Isagulyan expressed confidence that the parliamentary elections
be held in compliance with international standards, and only those
political forces, which assess their chances too high, will be of
another opinion after May 12.

Garnik Isagulyan also informed that the "National Security" Party,
headed by him, "supports RPA for obvious reasons" and participates
in its pre-election campaign.
