"Enlightened Armenia" party will participate in early parliamentary  elections separately, and not in within "Luys" bloc

ArmInfo.The "Enlightened Armenia" party will participate in the early parliamentary elections with its own list and its own political concept, the press service of  the party informs.

According to the source, party representatives consider that the  country needs systemic, irreversible changes. During their first  participation in the parliamentary elections, representatives of the  party were running within the Yelk bloc. Participation in the "Yelk"  became crucial for all the parties in the bloc. The revolution has  changed the political priorities in the country, creating for the  first time equal opportunities for all actors involved in political  processes. The "Enlightened Armenia" party, after long discussions  with the "Republic" party, came to a decision that it would  participate in the early parliamentary elections with its list and  its political concept.

The list of the "Enlightened Armenia" party will also include  representatives of other political forces and active political  groups. After the elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan, the  residents of Armenia highly appreciated the cooperation of the  Enlightened Armenia and the Republic parties, which participated in  the mayoral elections in the format of the Luys bloc, the parties  will continue to cooperate in the municipality in the format of this  bloc.

The rrepresentatives of the party expressed their gratitude to  counterparts in the Yelk bloc for cooperation at parliamentary and  extra-parliamentary platforms, and believe that the forces in this  bloc have the potential for further joint work.  To note, during the  early elections to the Yerevan mayor's office, the party headed by  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan participated in the elections not in  the format of the "Yelk" bloc, but in the format of the "My Step"  bloc. The "Enlightened Armenia" and "Republic" parties participated  in the format of the "Luys" bloc. The head of the "Enlightened  Armenia" party, Edmon Marukyan, noted that the parties will also  participate in a single bloc in the early elections, however, during  the lengthy discussions it was decided that the parties would  participate in the early elections separately.
