The People’s Party f Armenia will participate in the elections of the
Yerevan Mayor. Leader of the Party Tigran Karapetyan is assured they
will win in the elections.
Mr. Karapetyan told a press conference today that on March 1 the
People’s Party intends to hold a candle-lighting ceremony in Yerevan
aimed at spreading cohesion among the society.
Speaking about the domestic political situation, Tigran Karapetyan
said it’s necessary to launch dialogue with the opposition. "The
dialogue should take place in political processes, in which the
opposition should participate," he noted.
Turning to the rumors about Armenia’s joining the ruble zone, Tigran
Karapetyan said it would be an incorrect step: "Any state should
have its own currency." "However, we support any other collective
activity. I think that the provision of a $500 million stabilization
loan to Armenia by Russia is a result of collective activity," he said.
