NDU To Determine With Participation in Parliamentary Elections

NDU PARTY OF ARMENIA TO DETERMINE WITH PARTICIPATION IN PARLIAMENTARY
ELECTIONS

Yerevan, January 30. ArmInfo. The National-Democratic Union party of
Armenia ill determine, within the next month, whether to participate
in the coming Parliamentary elections and if yes, in what format, the
leader of the oppositional NDU, RA Parliamentarian, Vazgen Manukyan,
said at today’s press-conference in "Pastarq" club.

According to him, the optimal version for the opposition would be to
come out at elections by a united great block headed by the
Oppositional Council.

However, it is unreal. As for the NDU itself, it is still unclear if
the party is going to participate in elections, since many of its
representatives do not believe that the elections will pass
legitimately and without violations. "I think we have to participate
and struggle. The party will determine within the next month whether
to participate in the elections or not and if yes, with whom",
V. Manukyan said.

He also said it does not matter how many people are there in one or
another party. The main thing is the ideology, as well as a
compatibility of different politicians in one bloc. "For example, it
is easy and pleasant for me to work with the leader of the People’s
party, Stepan Demirchyan or the "Dashink" party, Samvel Babayan. It
does not mean that we shall form a bloc with them.

It only means that it is easy for me to cooperate with them",
V. Manukyan said.
