YEREVAN, APRIL 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "The Republican Party of Armenia
envisages to receive even if 1/3 votes during the elections." Eduard
Sharmazanov, Head of Press Service of RPA, stated at the April
26 press conference. At the same time, in his words, if the people
decides to vote for another political force, "RPA will work normally
in this case, too."

E. Sharmazanov assured that currently party’s main goal is to ensure
holding of free, fair and transparent elections. "We need honest
elections not to gain international organizations’ sympathy, but for
our country to be able to develop better," E. Sharmazanov said.

He said that as RPA estimates, the current preelectoral campaign
proceeds "peacefully and in a more civilized way" than in 2003. In
E. Sharmazanov’s words, "great surprises" are excluded during the
elections, as over the past seven years the country indeed developed
well. He said the RPA in difference to many other political forces
does not give unreal promises, it gives only realizable promises. "RPA
fulfilled almost all its preelectoral promises given in 2003. The
result of our joint work with the President was that Armenia came out
of transitional stage and stepped on the way of development. RPA is
a party of work and not populist slogans."

As regards the recording of talk of ex-Speaker of NA, Chairman
of Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) Party Artur Baghdasarian with
representative of Embassy of Great Britain in RA, E. Sharmazanov said:
"For our country it would be better if our politicians were guided
by state and national and not personal interests."
