YEREVAN.- The Republican Party of Armenia does not consider necessary
to ban businessmen from running for parliament seats in single-mandate
districts, MP Hovhannes Sahakyan told journalists on Monday.
The RPA political council considers that shifting to completely
proportional election system is premature.
“Therefore the party can decide on supporting certain candidates in
single-mandate districts,” he added.
Nevertheless, the proportional list of the party will not include
candidates known as businessmen.
