A discussion of representatives of various political parties on
establishing inter-party campaign headquarters is still underway at
the Union of Political Analysts of Armenia.
Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) Supreme Council
representative Armen Rustamyan agreed to sign a document proposed by
the opposition bloc the Armenian National Congress (HAK). Earlier,
HAK representative and candidate in the May 6 parliamentary election
Levon Zurabyan urged the signing of the document directed at RA Police
Chief Vladimir (Vova) Gasparyan, asking he provide the list of citizens
on eligible voters' lists who are permanently outside the country.
Rustamyan said that they can at least separate these names with
printing them in italics on the lists, if not remove them all
together. Immediately after he uttered these remarks, Rustamyan asked
for a pen and on the spot signed the document proposed by HAK.
Afterwards, Rustamyan and Zurabyan shook hands as a sign of agreement,
reports Aravot.am.
The campaign headquarters idea is incomprehensible for head of
the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) parliamentary faction Galust
Sahakyan.
"It was presented very romantically and tailor-made. Ten days
before, the National Assembly published a similar declaration,
which establishes a similar, appropriate structure, in which not only
parliamentary parties can participate, so that we make the elections
as manageable as possible.
"In my opinion, the parliament's capabilities are much greater, and
all political forces can participate. The campaign headquarters not
yet built, they're already signing a document. I will abstain, because
these documents had to be discussed by the [ruling] coalition. This
will be discussed within the scope of the coalition, and then, I
think, a response will be given. But I'm telling you, there's already
a declaration [on the table] with these same motives and structured
more competently."
