    ARF TO CLARIFY ITS TACTICS AFTER SUPREME CONVENTION

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - All political parties are preparing for the
    upcoming National Assembly election, Hrair Karapetian, National
    Assembly's Armenian Revolutionary Federation faction leader, told a
    news conference on Tuesday.

    "Every party decides on its own what tactics to adopt for the coming
    months," Karapetian said.

    As for the ARF, Karapetian said, the party will discuss its action
    plan at its 10th Supreme Body to be convened on September 7.

    Taking a question on the ARF's possible participation in an electoral
    block with other parties in the election, Karapetian said, "The ARF
    is ruled collectively, and it is the Supreme Convention that is to
    make a decision on the party's tactics.

    My personal opinion is that the ARF has always participated in
    elections separately but there are parties whose programs are
    comparable in some parts with that of the ARF. A cooperation is
    inevitable but only the Convention will decide on the extent of
    cooperation."

    Speaking on the alleged confrontation between the Republican Party
    and newly formed Prosperous Armenia Party, Karapetian said such
    confrontation is ' artificially exaggerated' by the press.

    As for the opposition, Karapetian said, it did not take the place
    it was supposed to, so other parties should commit to control the
    legislative field.

    He also spoke of the change in the Azerbaijani position in the Karabakh
    conflict settlement, saying that the international community cannot
    tolerate for long Azerbaijan's attempts to derail the process and
    that country's belligerent rhetoric.
