New Force party candidate ready to cooperate with all forces except  Civil Contract and Armenia bloc

ArmInfo. The people have awakened and feel that they are the ones who decide what path Armenia  will take and what it should be. Hayk Marutyan, the New Force party's candidate for prime minister, stated this in a conversation with journalists on June 7, expressing satisfaction with the high turnout in the elections.

He emphasized that high political activity among citizens during  elections is of great importance, especially for a country like  Armenia. In this regard, Marutyan recalled that in the previous  Council of Elders elections, due to public apathy, turnout was only  28%, which, he said, was very disappointing. Speaking about possible  post-election processes, the leader of the New Force party noted that  if the elections are held in a normal and calm environment, further  developments will be determined by the will of the people.

"If the elections are held without fraud, we must accept the will of  the people, regardless of whether the current government or the  opposition wins," he said.

Marutyan declined to predict the outcome of the vote, noting that New  Force's participation in the elections and its representation in  parliament are important, as the party advocates for the protection  of human rights, the development of democracy, and Europeanization.

Responding to a question about possible cooperation with other  political forces, Marutyan reiterated his readiness to cooperate with  all parties, with the exception of the Civil Contract and the Armenia  bloc, provided that the New Force's program and principles are  preserved. "Because people vote for our programs, not for our pretty  faces," he emphasized.
