overall number to 74. The last registered party on June 5 is called
Protection of National Values.
Gurgen Sarkisian, an official from the ministry dealing with

of liquidation. He said some fifty parties, which failed to meet
new requirements of the revised law on political parties, had been
already liquidated in the last six months.
Under the law, the parties have also to report, apart from other
