Ter-Petrosian.

has the opportunity to participate in the upcoming elections to the
local governing institutions, win, gain experience and get ready for
the next elections.

the parliament, actively supported Levon Ter-Petrosian during the
presidential elections, it continues cooperating with him and can
easily use the rostrum of the parliament and talk about the ways to
solve the problems of the country.

reforms will be realized and certain guaranties will be implemented
