President of the United Labor Party Gurgen Arsenyan is assured that
the Armenian authorities will certainly accomplish the requirements of
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) resolution
adopted on April 17. Gurgen Arsenyan told a press conference today
that he is confident of it, since he is well familiar with the way
of action of RA authorities.
Besides, according to him, Armenia cannot avoid the commitments it
assumed when joining the Council of Europe.
Turning to the demand of the opposition to hold extraordinary
parliamentary elections, the leader of the United Labor Party declared
that any extraordinary election is unacceptable to them. "Even taking
into consideration that in case of early parliamentary elections we
shall have an opportunity to run for Parliament, we do not welcome
any extraordinary process," Gurgen Arsenyan stated. He noted that not
getting enough votes in the latest parliamentary elections, the United
Labor Party accepted the defeat in accordance with democratic rules.
Gurgen Arsenyan reminded that in the parliamentary elections the
United Labor Party "expressed support" for incumbent President Serzh
Sargsyan’s pre-election platform. He stressed that they made a choice
between platforms, not persons.
