YEREVAN, MAY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The May 12 parliamentary elections are
the best Armenian elections in the 21st century. Eduard Sharmazanov,
the Public Relations Responsible of the Republic Party of Armenia
expressed this opinion at the Urbat club on May 15. In his words,
naturally, there were defects as well what is proved by the 9
criminal actions brought on those case. He at the same time expressed
a confidence that "those defects will be checked in future, and
Armenia will more enter the era of developed democracy from elections
to elections."
According to E. Sharmazanov’s observation, in these elections the
citizens of Armenia "pay a tribute not to the electoral bribe but to
the ideological struggle, programs as well as propaganda mission." In
his words, its bright evidence is entrance of the Zharangutiun
(Heritage) party to the parliament.
In his words, the RPA will become a "force making more serious and
weighty decisions." E. Sharmazanov refused making foresights concerning
possible formation of the political coalition, only mentioning that
the RPA will present its position concerning that issue after official
publication of the final results of the elections. In his words,
formation of a coalition will greatly be provided by results of the
discussions at the RPA Council as well as with other parties. "The RPA
is theoretically ready for cooperation with all the forces, but the
cooperation can not be an end in itself: it must have strong edges
and bases," E. Sharmazanov said.
