Civil Contract party closely monitoring data of polls related to  upcoming parliamentary elections - MP

ArmInfo.The Civil Contract party is closely monitoring the data from various opinion polls related to the upcoming parliamentary elections. This was stated by  Artur Hovhannisyan, secretary of the Civil Contract faction, at a briefing in the National Assembly on March 6.

According to him, the ruling faction's election outlook is more or  less predictable, but the authenticity of these polls will be  revealed on the morning of June 8.

In turn, Arman Yeghoyan, chairman of the NA Committee on European  Integration, emphasized that, according to the latest public opinion  poll following the June 7 parliamentary elections, the ruling party  will secure a majority in the NA. Moreover, it will be more than a  simple majority, since the question of three- fifths of the mandates  in the new NA, two-thirds, and 50+1, which naturally implies  different results, is at stake.

Yeghoyan noted that the survey data inspires a certain optimism and  confidence in the ruling party, especially since the election  campaign hasn't yet begun. "We haven't said everything yet," the  parliamentarian emphasized.

He added that voices are increasingly being heard in the opposition  about a supposedly significant drop in Civil Contract's ratings, that  they are very low and there will be problems with forming a  government, etc.  There's even talk of a "Gyumri 2" scenario, but the  latest survey results suggest otherwise. Yeghoyan noted that it's  already possible to talk about the ruling party securing a  constitutional majority; the survey only confirms its  representatives' confidence. One of the party's main achievements is  the establishment of peace, which has become a reality, and to  protect it, a strong and reliable citizen voice is needed.
