Yerevan, May 10. /Mediamax/. Spokesman of the Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA) Eduard Sharmazanov stated in Yerevan today that the
campaign on the elections to the National Assembly became "the most
transparent and honest one during the latest years".

Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan, Eduard
Sharmazanov noted with pleasure that the competing political forces
practically fully refrained from using dirty pre-election technologies.

According to him, "the most important task for the RPA is the
strengthening of democratic fundamentals in the country". Eduard
Sharmazanov believes that the people appreciated the reforms, realized
in Armenia in the course of the latest 7 years, "and our party can
hope to gain the majority of votes".

He described the RPA as "a party of deeds and not words", noting that
"we never give idle promises and always keep our promises". "We,
for instance, do not promise the increase the pensions ten times,
as it is not realistic at this moment", he clarified.

Eduard Sharmazanov expressed surprise concerning the fact that "the
elections have not yet taken place, but some oppositional forces are
already going to dispute the results".
