ArmInfo. The historic elections in Armenia are a continuation of the revolution and a process of capitalization of its results. This is stated in the statement of the "Bright Armenia" party.
The party believes that the elections were free and fair. According to the statement, today Armenia is entering a phase of institutional reforms, and on this path, the parliament needs strength, which will be a counterbalance to the authorities. "Bright Armenia" is a "civilizational opposition." At the same time, we are concerned about the fact that the trend of growing political and economic potential continues even after the revolution. And we intend to actively fight this negative phenomenon. As the only opposition force, we are always ready to cooperate with non-parliamentary forces on the path to the implementation of structural reforms",the statement reads.
At the same time, the leader of the "Bright Armenia", Edmon Marukyan, noted that, speaking of the growth of political and economic capital, he is referring to the party "Prosperous Armenia" headed by entrepreneur Gagik Tsarukyan, who operates by apolitical methods. "For example, if he had not nominated his guard to the MP we would have taken not third, but triple place. Meanwhile, guard Edward Babayan does not intend to take the mandate, he was nominated only to get votes for the PPA. Here are similar things we will not allow in the future", said Marukyan, adding that the party was the second in Yerevan, and the third in the republic as a whole. To note, the "Bright Armenia" got 6.37% of the vote.
