Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party will not form an alliance with any other political force for the upcoming snap parliamentary elections, its member Lilit Makunts, who heads the party’s parliamentary bloc My Step, told reporters on Thursday.
“Civil Contract will participate in the elections as a separate party without entering into any alliance,” Makunts said.
Meanwhile, she did not reveal the list of Civil Contract’s candidates for the early elections, adding it will be presented after May 10.
“I will just say that there will be new people [on the electoral list],” Makunts added.
Separately, she said the latest statement of Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan urging the two other former presidents of the country to form an electoral alliance is “perplexing”.
“For me, as a former member of the first president's political team, that statement is perplexing,” the MP said, adding the 2018 Pashinyan-led movement had the same ideology as the 2008 movement led by Ter-Petrosyan.
