Ruling party MP: the main rival of the Civil Contract party in the  upcoming elections will be a force created by a Russian businessman

ArmInfo. The main rival of Armenia's ruling Civil Contract party in the upcoming parliamentary elections on June 7 will be a political force created by a Russian businessman (Samvel Karapetyan - ed.). Hayk Konjoryan, leader of the Civil Contract faction in the National Assembly, expressed this conviction when speaking to reporters on March 4.

In his opinion, the bloc of  Robert Kocharyan, second president of  Armenia,  is in  a "disarray". According to all available polls, this  bloc is unlikely to cross the threshold and enter the country's  parliament. As for the Republican Party, led by third President of  the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, Konjoryan noted that it is  unlikely to garner even 1% of the vote. This is precisely why RPA  representatives are raising the issue of street fighting, as they  themselves understand the situation and, fearing embarrassment, have  decided to take this step.

Regarding the Civil Contract party, the parliamentarian emphasized  that its rating is several times higher than that of its closest  rivals. Konjoryan supported his confidence with data from a recent  sociological survey, the results of which will be published soon. The  MP assured that the country's ruling party is constantly in touch  with the people, as evidenced by the frequent trips of the Prime  Minister, MPs, and government officials to the country's regions and  meetings with local residents.
