Tert.am
13:54 – 28.11.09
The 12th Republican Party of Armenia convention kicked off this
morning with the attendance of two-thirds of the 1,806 delegates who
had registered to attend the convention taking place at Yerevan’ Karen
Demirjian Sport and Concert Complex. As announced by RPA and Armenia’s
President Serzh Sargsyan during his opening speech, all of RPA’s
conventions begin with prayer, and this one would be no different. The
president invited His Eminence Archbishop Navasard Kjoyan who
conducted the prayer, after which the convention began.
The governing party’s convention began with the discussion of a few
technical issues: in particular, the election of the audit committee
secretariate.
Invited to the convention, and in attendance, were representatives
from Russia’s governing party, United Russia, as well as from national
parties from Europe. United Russia’s president Vladimir Putin’s
greetings for the RPA convention were conveyed by a leading member of
the party, Artur Chilingarov.
Recalling Serzh Sargsyan’s visits to Moscow this past year, as well as
the more than a hundred intergovernmental and interdepartmental
agreements that exist between the two countries, Chilingarov noted
that Armenia-Russia relations are developing in a steadfast and
harmonious manner. The United Russia member expressed his hopes that
the RPA convention will promote the resolution of any forthcoming
issues in Armenia, adding that United Russia plans to strengthen
coooperation with the Republican Party of Armenian, in interregional
development, in particular.
