YEREVAN, MAY 3, ARMENPRESS: Levon Martirosian, the 30 year-old chairman
of a recently established United Liberal National Party (ULNP) party,
told a news conference today that the party has fulfilled its major
first stage task-that is to position itself as a new western-type
political party. He stressed the words 'western type' saying this
should not be confused with 'pro-western' notion.
He said the party represents a new generation of people and is not
engaged in assessing individuals and parties contesting the May 12
parliamentary elections, but is advertising its approaches and ideology
with a focus on the necessity of the second generation reforms.
'The first generation reforms were implemented in the early 90-s, but
regretfully the authorities failed to pass to the second generation,
which has actually resulted in stagnation... Our party is the sole
party that has adopted the ideology of implementing the second
generation reforms,' he said.
Martirosian said all Armenians with liberal views are the party's
potential supporters.
"Our campaign is successful and unlike three months ago when we did
not exist, now people are talking about us which means we are on the
right track," Martirosian said, adding that after the May 12 polls
many politicians who will fail to win a seat in the National Assembly
will have to depart and the turn is for young people.
