ArmInfo. Actions of Yelq coalition will be aimed at peaceful shift of power in Armenia, member of the coalition and leader of Prosperous Armenia party Edmon Marukyan stated.
He added that the bloc was not created to join any political force. "Yelk was formed for consolidation and achievement of victory, which in turn will lead to serious and system changes", the politician added. At the same time the leader of the party noted that a lot of political forces make various statements, however none of them speaks about the need of supremacy of law, establishment of democracy, freedom, mechanism of mutual control among the branches of power. "These are the fundamental values based on which the new system should be developed. The Armenian society waits for changes and we will strive for that", the politician thinks.
In his opinion the authorities promote the idea that it is impossible to reach changes via elections. "The example of Vanadzor demonstrated that it is possible and in this city we enjoy oppositionist statements of the representatives of the Republican Party, which became minority there", he stressed. At the same time Marukyan urged the citizens to participate in the elections on April 2 and help to send the ruling system to opposition.
It was previously reported that the Yelk bloc comprises Civil Contract Party, Enlightened Armenia Party, and Republic Party. The bloc's negotiations with Gyumri-based Gala Party and some members of Heritage Party are not over yet.
