Yerevan, May 21. /Mediamax/. Member of the Council of the Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) Armen Ashotian stated in Yerevan today that
after the parliamentary elections of May 12, a formation of "a new
progressive political system" is launched in the country.
Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today,
Armen Ashotian stated that "the transition period in the Armenian
politics nears its end".
Armen Ashotian explained the unsuccessful performance of the opposition
during the parliamentary elections by the fact that "they did not
manage to solve the problem of generation shift". Member of the RPA
Council believes that "the main way out" for the parties, which did
not enter the parliament, is the merger with stronger parties with
closer ideologies.
Armen Ashotian stressed that "being a strong party and representing
the political backbone of the country, the Republican Party of Armenia
is open for cooperation with all the political forces".
Member of the RPA Council expressed opinion that "the foreign policy
of Armenia should be modified".
"The complementary foreign policy should be replaced by a multi-vector
and well-considered policy, based on the interests of the country",
he noted.
