Armen Rustamyan: "ADRF may become opposed, if …"
As a REGNUM correspondent informs, on September 12, ADRF Supreme
Body representative, permanent parliamentary Commission on Foreign
Affairs Head Armen Rustamyan stressed that any decision on party’s
participation in presidential elections and its strategy should be
approved by the ADRF Supreme Assembly at its session in 2007. Besides
that, the party’s participation in presidential elections depends on
parliamentary elections’ outcomes in 2007.
"The party position may be changed after the parliamentary
elections. First, it depends on elections’ transparency and their
conducting without violations and second on MPs’ number at country’s
parliament. We realize; for further country’s development, guaranteeing
democratization’s process, securing by Armenia its own place in
region, fair elections without falsifications should be held. If
the elections are hold with violations, ARFD will become opposed,"
Armen Rustamyan stressed.
Besides that, if there is not necessary number of seats after
parliamentary elections, ARDF may refuse to take part in establishing
new government. "If we do not have necessary number of seats and
we are not able to solve accumulated questions, our governmental
participation will have no sense," Armen Rustamyan concluded.
