Yerevan, 12 May: Armenian President Robert Kocharyan said in Yerevan
today that "he wants to see the real opposition in parliament but not a
foreign representative office in the form of various factions". The
president said this at a polling station, Mediamax reports.

Kocharyan said that "Armenia has certain political forces which keep
making the same mistake". "It is rather hard to comment on strange
habits," the Armenian president said.

Robert Kocharyan said that the election campaign period passed was
normal and the voting is taking place calmly. "After this election,
life will return to normal and a new government will be formed," the
president added.
