May 27 2014
During his speech at the 15th Congress of RPA, President Serzh
Sargsyan stated that today, the political parties are positioning
themselves for the target of 2017-2018 elections. According to him, it
should not be allowed to involve the entire public in pre-election
turmoil ahead of the time. In this regard, Aravot.am asked the PAP
spokesman Tigran Urikhanyan whether it is true that PAP party is
positioned and preparing for the next election ahead of time. Mr.
Urikhanyan replied, "I'm not going to interpret Serzh Sargsyan's
words. To interpret his words, refer to his spokesperson, or his
authorized persons. As for the PAP, then we have a very clear and
consistent policy course of moving ahead. All political parties are
established through participating in a variety of elections to carry
out their plans." Serzh Sargsyan also said, "I do not accept the
approaches of the political forces and figures who suddenly decided
that there is no need to amend the Constitution forgetting the fact
that until quite recently they affirmatively demanded the alteration
of the political system." Tigran Urikhanyan said, "We have always said
one thing, including now. We have always said one thing about the
election system, and we have asserted it by electoral platforms of
different times, including by current programs, we do say the same
now. With regard to the change of the government system, it is not the
entirety that is available in the concept of Constitutional reforms,
then, yes, we had made our mind clear on it."
