After May 12 elections the internal and foreign policy of Armenia
will not change, Davit Harutunyan, minister of justice and member
of the Armenian Republican Party (HHK), told Ria Novosty in an
interview. "One can be 100% sure that the external policy of Armenia
will undergo no serious changes after the elections. My suggestions
are based on forecasts of which political party will appear in
the parliament," he said. The minister believes HHK will have the
most seats in the parliament, followed by Prosperous Armenia (BHK)
and Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnakcutiun). Assessing
Republicans as neoconservative party, Harutunyan said HHK has assumed
responsibilities "to raise the salary, reduce unemployment and increase
social allowances." Unlike other parties, HHK figures are based on
methodology, which has be at the bark of the state budget for years,
the minister said.
