ArmInfo. On Sunday the Parties of prosperous Armenia, Gnchakyan, Ramkavar Azatakan,  Armenian National Movement and the Unity Movement will sign a  Consolidation Memorandum,  Tsaroukyan block PR  manager  Aram  Vardanyan stated during the conversation with ArmInfo reporter. 

 "Heis the  head and the skeleton of the block will be Tsaroukyan,  but the block is not a consolidation around one single person, this  is an idea-based unity, " hementioned. In the same time, the block is  named after Tsaroukyan, because different surveys showed that the  people of the country relate their hopes exactly  to his personality  . "He minded that, but we insisted, because we wanted every national  to know which  block exactly will be headed by Tsaroukyan," he  accentuated, adding that after  setting the political  platform other  political powers  could also join it.  Vardanyan added also, that he  held consultations meetings with Seyran Ohanyan. " But the matter is  to define the stage of cooperation. Our position regarding the need  to consolidate the efforts for reforms  is shared by all the people,  and that is only technical matter at which stage exactly  it wil  happen," he accentuated. He did not rule out at that the  consolidation will take place at any of the  stages.  "Consolidation  both in single block and in respect to common points after the  elections," he clarified while not ruling out the probability of  coalitional administration.  At it was informed before, Tigran  Urikhanyan's Alliance Party will run in the parliamentary elections  as part of the Gagik Tsarukyan bloc, Urikhanyan said at a press  conference in Yerevan on Feb 3. He stressed that he has always  supported Tsarukyan, even when the latter left mainstream politics.
