Ruben Tovmasyan, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the
Armenian Communist Party, said on April 12 that his party wants further
enforcement of Armenia's alliances with Russia in the Collective
Security Treaty Organization, News.am reports.
The party says that the country needs to improve staff, making it
more responsible to end corruption, bribery and clan formation. The
parliament needs a law on dismissal of MPs and stripping them of
their immunity.
Consolidation of civilians and the military should become one of the
main goals of the country, Tovmasyan says. Armenia and Russia must
oppose NATO expansion together, he stresses.
The Single Progressive Communist Party has decided to unite with
the Communist Party of Armenia into a single proportional list
for the parliamentary polls on May 6. Vazgen Safaryan, leader of
progressive communists, said that he is second in the list. The party
had parliamentary seats in 1990-2003. It got 12.1% of vote in 1999. It
is a pro-Russian political party with close contacts with the Russian
Communist Party of Gennady Zyuganov.
