PanARMENIAN.Net - Candidate of the opposition Armenian National
Congress (ANC) Vladimir Karapetyan who runs for the parliament in
2nd constituency in Yerevan, says cooperation among opposition forces
to counter election forgery is more important than nominating common
candidates for the upcoming elections.
"We cooperate in a key issue of tackling the election violations,
and we believe this to be a priority for us now," Karapetyan told a
press conference in Yerevan.
When asked about supporting single opposition candidates in each
constituency, ANC representative suggested that journalists ask the
question those who are going to face other opposition candidates in
their constituencies. As to Karapetyan, his only rival in the 2nd
constituency is Samvel Farmanyan, candidate proposed by the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia.
As an example of cooperation, Karapetyan cited in particular the joint
letter of ANC, Heritage and ARF Dashnaktsutyun parties addressed to
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan urging to specify the voters' list
and remove the citizens who left Armenia.
Parliamentary elections are due in Armenia on May 6 featuring 8
political parties (Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Prosperous
Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD), Orinats Yerkir, Heritage,
Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), Communist Party of Armenia and
United Armenian party, as well as one election bloc represented by
opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC).
