ArmInfo.The Republican Party of Armenia refutes the rumors circulating in the media that it, allegedly, has already decided to participate in the December parliamentary elections, and even made its proportional list.
As stated by Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, RPA Spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov, in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent, this is yet another misinformation. "The party has not yet decided on its participation in the elections, although I have repeatedly expressed the need for its participation. And without having a decision on participation in the elections, we, of course, could not make a proportional list, it would be absurd. Such questions should be discussed and resolved at meetings of the Executive Body and the Party Council, taking into account the opinion of our party members, "Sharmazanov summarized.
To note, the media reported today that the RPA allegedly decided to participate in the December elections and even identified the top five of its proportional list in the person of former Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan, Vice Speaker Arpine Hovhannisyan, former Justice Minister David Harutyunyan , Vice Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov and deputy chairman of the party, head of the foreign affairs committee Armen Ashotyan. The media did not rule out the possibility of including Yerevan Mayor Taron Markarian in the list.
