YEREVAN, APRIL 3, ARMENPRESS: Armenian parties, which will contest
the May 12 parliamentary elections have already chosen their slogans
to promote their election campaigns. Thus, the Republican Party will
be electioneering with the slogan "For You Armenia."

Galust Sahakian, head of the party’s parliamentary faction, said the
party is prepared to launch its campaign on April 8, when the Central
Election Commission will give it the official start.

The Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s (ARF) slogan is "ARF is our
old friend." An official of the party’s central office said the party
will make use of both free and paid airtime on TV to advertise its
manifesto and its programs.

The Prosperous Armenia party’s main slogan is "Let us build a
prosperous Armenia together,’ but according to Baghdasar Mherian, a
senior official of the party, this is just one of about three dozens
of the party’s slogans. Others sound like ‘The powerful must be just
and the weak must be protected,’ "Care and respect to senior citizens,’
"Live a decent and worthy life,’ and so on.

The opposition Nor Zhamanakner (New Times) will contest the polls
with the slogan "We speak by the language of facts." The slogan of the
Dashink (Alliance) party is "Strength and Unity," while the People’s
Party of Armenia has chosen the slogan of ‘Principle and Dignity."
