    POLITICAL PARTIES HIDE REAL NUMBER OF THEIR MEMBERS?

    According to "RA Political Parties" -- brochure issued by the Fund of
    Political and Social Development with the support of US ambassador to
    Armenia -- the biggest party of Armenia is the People's Party of Stepan
    Demirtchian with 30.000 members, second biggest is the Republican Party of
    prime minister Andranik Margarian, third comes the New Times of Aram
    Karapetian with 15.108, forth is National Self-Determination Party of Paruyr
    Hayrikian with 12.000. Surprising as it is, Sargis Asatrian's Youth Party
    counts 11.240 members, Powerful Homeland of Vartan Vardapetian -- 10.300,
    Armenian Revolutionary Federation -- 7.000. Notorious All-Armenian Movement
    of Ararat Zurabian, by the way, also has 7.000 members.

    Interestingly, such parties as the Rule of Law (Artur Baghdasarian),
    National Unity (Artashes Geghamian), National Democratic Party (Shavarsh
    Kocharian) and Christian Democratic Union (Ghosrov Harutyunian) preferred to
    withhold the number of their adherents.
