Sharmazanov: Holding democratic elections is a priority for  Republican Party of Armenia 

ArmInfo. Holding democratic elections is a priority for the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, RPA Spokesman Eduard  Sharmazanov quotes Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan as saying at the  RPA Council's meeting. 

"The RPA is the leading political force of the country and it is  willing to do its best to hold democratic elections," Sharmazanov  said. He stressed that the party is ready for healthy competition  with all forces.  Sharmazanov disproved the rumors saying that the  return of oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan to politics and creation of the  Tsarukyan bloc are coordinated with the authorities.       

As regards the withdrawal of several people from the RPA, Sharmazanov  said that 11,000 people have joined the RPA over the past month. He  added that the RPA lists are not ready yet and will be prepared by  February 6.
