YEREVAN, DECEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS: A senior member of the opposition
People's Party of Armenia (PPA), headed by Stepan Demirchian,
said today the party is prepared to contest the 2007 parliamentary
elections alone.
Incidentally, the People's Party of Armenia makes the backbone of the
Ardarutyun (Justice) opposition alliance. Grigor Harutunian, a member
of the party's ruling board, said the PPA was a force bringing parties
together and may strike an alliance with other forces. He said they
would like such an alliance to be cemented by a mutual ideology.
Harutunian forecasted emergence of several opposition alliances ahead
of the 2007 polls, adding that pro-government forces will fight for
parliament seats separately. Harutunian said their party's manifesto
will undergo some changes concerning their vision of foreign policy
priorities. He said the shift would be from the CIS towards the Europe
and the West.
"Armenia has to take the road of European integration," he said.
