ArmInfo. The Republican Party  and the Free Democrats will go to early parliamentary elections as  part of the We bloc. The corresponding memorandum was signed on  November 10 by party leaders - Aram Sargsyan and Khachatur  Kokobelyan.

According to Aram Sargsyan, the "We" bloc holds the view that the  velvet revolution in Armenia will achieve its final goal if there are  important changes in both the domestic and foreign policy of the  republic.  Note that in December 2016 the Enlightened Armenia Party  (the leader - Edmon Marukyan), "Republic" (leader - Aram Sargsyan)  and "Civil Contract" (leader - Nikol Pashinyan) announced the  unification into the "Elk" bloc and jointly participated in the  parliamentary elections in spring 2016. In the last elections to the  Council of Elders of Yerevan, the Republic Party took part, together  with Enlightened Armenia, with the Luys bloc. Meanwhile, on November  4, the Enlightened Armenia Party announced that as a result of  lengthy discussions with the Republic Party, it decided to  independently participate in the upcoming elections to the National  Assembly according to its list - with its own vision and program.

Early parliamentary elections will be held on December 9, 2018. About  3 billion drams will be directed to the organization and holding of  parliamentary elections. The campaign starts on November 26th.  Parties and blocks may submit applications for participation before 6  pm on 14 November. Registration at the CEC is held until 6 pm on  November 19. The time for campaigning is November 26 - December 7.  According to IC, a period of 12 days is granted.
