    democratization process - MP

    YEREVAN. - If the elections are not held in accordance to democratic
    criteria in Armenia, then the image formed in foreign political field
    will disappear immediately, Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) MP,
    Armenian delegation member at the PACE, Naira Zohrabyan told in the
    interview with the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent responding to
    the question whether there are any preconditions to hold peaceful and
    transparent parliamentary elections in 2012.

    `Currently there are assurances that the elections should be held
    free, fair and transparent. We should do everything to implement those
    assurances. Otherwise, if we do not hold elections proper to
    democratic criteria, then the image formed in foreign political field
    will disappear immediately. International authoritative organizations
    have stated it clearly. They have never been so attentive to the
    elections in Armenia, as the upcoming parliamentary ones,' the MP
    told.

    According to Zohrabyan, the parliamentary elections will be a serious
    trial for Armenia in its democratization process.

    As for the statements of the opposition that the PAP uses
    administrative and financial recourses in the pre-election struggle,
    Zohrabyan said that the party does not carry out philanthropic
    activity. Those activities are carried out by the Gagik Tsarukyan
    foundation.
