ArmInfo.For the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), cooperation with various liberal structures outside the EU is very important, and in this context, a very important role for us is played by the relationship with the Lusavor Hayastan party. This was announced by Henrik Bach Mortensen, vice president of ALDE, at the 2nd congress of the Lusavor Hayastan party in Yerevan on February 17.
Mortnessen expressed confidence that only through cooperation and exchange of experience representatives of various liberal structures will succeed and build a state based on democratic principles. "The main principles of liberalism are freedom of speech, the protection of human rights, gender equality," - said the vice president of ALDE. At the same time, the vice-president noted that ALDE representatives never interfere in the internal affairs of their partners, as each country has its own national characteristics. "I am confident that ALDE's cooperation with the Lusavor Hayastan party will be successful and productive," the Vice President concluded.
The head of the department of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in the South Caucasus Peter-Andreas Bohman said that this fund was founded in Germany and is an adherent of democratic principles. "It is a great honor for us to cooperate with various democratic structures around the world. We strive to promote the principles of democracy in the countries with whose representatives we cooperate. And we are also ready to develop the ties of our partners abroad, "said Bohman, noting that this cooperation is very valuable for the representatives of the Fund.
According to the leader of the Republic Party Aram Sargsyan, the main achievement of cooperation between the Republic Party and Lusavor Hayastan is the creation of the Elk faction. "The power that now operates in Armenia all the time strives to reproduce. We are representatives of the "Elk" bloc, we will do our best to prevent this," Sargsyan said.
As the leader of the Elk bloc, Nikol Pashinyan, noted, the faction's path was really thorny. At the same time, according to Pashinyan, nothing can be achieved without effort. "We managed to inspire faith in the hearts of our people, and believe that everything is possible to change. At the core of our faction lies the ideology that every citizen of Armenia is very important and has a special place in our republic. Our goal is to build the Republic in Armenia. The main thing is to believe: "There is a way out!" - concluded Nikol Pashinyan
