Member of the Council of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
Armen Ashotyan stated in Yerevan today that after the parliamentary
elections of May 12, a formation of "a new progressive political
system" is being formed in the country.

Armen Ashotyan told a news conference today that "the transition
period in the Armenian politics is coming to an end."

Armen Ashotyan explained the unsuccessful participation of the
opposition in the parliamentary elections by the fact that "they did
not manage to solve the problem of generation shift." Member of the
RPA Council believes that " the main way out" for the parties, which
did not enter the parliament, is the merger with stronger parties
with close ideologies.

Armen Ashotyan stressed that "being a strong party and representing
the political backbone of the country, the Republican Party of Armenia
is open for cooperation with all the political forces."

Member of the RPA Council expressed the opinion that "the foreign
policy of Armenia should be modified."

"The complementary foreign policy should be replaced by a multi-vector
and well-considered policy based on the interests of the country,"
he noted.
