ArmInfo.The ruling Republican Party of Armenia is intended to hold transparent pre-electoral race without being involved in any disputes and manipulations with opponents, Armen Ashotyan, the Deputy Chairman of the party stated on February 27 at a press conference in Yerevan.
According to him, the upcoming elections will be competitive not only in respect to the political streams participating but also in respect to the consideration of various political positions represented by those. He thinks the electoral race participants are trying to harmonize their political ambitions to the public requirements.
" At the upcoming elections the RPA competitors will be not the political powers but the package of problems that we are intended to solve," he accentuated. As the main problems he mentioned the security issues and the economic development. In this context Ashotyan accentuated that RPA will go for elections with several images: security represented by President Serzh Sargsyan, economic development represented by Prime Minister Karen Karen Karapetyan, and the consolidation of all the RPA.
Ashotyan referred also to latest incidents in Ararat and Aragatsotn districts, where the followers of different rating list based candidates have beaten each other. According to Ashotyan, the fair competition should be encouraged, and the unfair one should be estimated properly. " The victory is important for us, but the quality of the elections is over that importance. Hence, RPA will follow the law's letter," he noted.
The RPA Deputy Head assured also that the pre-electoral race could not become a reason to lose the attention at the border, which is expected by Azerbaijan, initiating new provocations. " Despite the RPA list is headed by Armenian Defense Minister, we monitor the situation at the border attentively," he mentioned.
