ArmInfo. Disagreements over the rating system between ARF Dashnaktsutyun and the RPA were before the formation of the coalition, and the ARF still believes that this system does not justify itself.
The head of the ARF faction Armen Rustamyan stated this at a briefing in the National Assembly of Armenia on February 12, answering a question about whether the rating system of elections can become an apple of discord between the coalition partners - RPA and ARFD and lead to their political "divorce". "This issue has always been on our agenda, although we knew that our coalition partners have a different point of view, despite this, we continue to defend our position and express our concern with this issue," the MP stressed, adding that this issue it will be impossible to constantly avoid them, and their coalition partners should help to find the most appropriate solution. In turn, the head of the faction of the Republican Party Vahram Baghdasaryan said that the contradictions associated with the rating system between the RPA and the ARFD started back in the 90s. "The thing is that in this the rating system of elections is justified. And we do not see any reason to avoid it, "Baghdasaryan concluded, that the "Tsarukyan" bloc also stands for the abolition of the rating system of elections.
