On March 23 RA NA President Artur Baghdasarayn received Sedrak

Party (SDHP), Matsak Poladyan, Board member and Lyudmila Sargsyan,

Mr. Poladyan informed NA President about the decisions of the SDHP
Congress held recently, noting that the party having structures in 14
countries made a united decision on changing its strategy and
returning to Armenia if possible, in order to have activity in the
motherland. It was highlighted to have its offices in European
capitals, particularly in Brussels, for the lobbyist activity in the
aspect of contributing to the Euro-Integration processes.

Welcoming the entrance of the party to Armenia, at the guests’
request Artur Baghdasaryan touched upon the political-legislative
processes in Armenia: amendments in Electoral Code, the draft on dual
citizenship. The elaboration and fulfillment of the concept of
immigration policy was highlighted.

During the meeting the possibilities of the development of
inter-party relations were also discussed.
