NO REASONS FOR "COLOR REVOLUTIONS" IN ARMENIA - MINISTER
ITAR-TASS, Russia
May 8 2007
YEREVAN, May 8 (Itar-Tass) - There are no objective reasons for
"color revolutions in Armenia," Justice Minister David Arutyunian said.
"The election campaign in the country has been quiet, the pre-election
struggle is being waged by more civilized methods than ever before,"
Arutyunian told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
"All the parties freely express their views and positions, include
the most extreme ones," he noted.
"Everything will be done for the society to become convinced that
voting is honest, without hidden or illegal mechanisms," the minister
said.
In his opinion, if the parties forming the ruling coalition "win
several first places," the republic's foreign policy will not undergo
considerable changes."
"Any major changes in the foreign policy are possible only after the
presidential election next year, because the head of state plays the
key role in shaping Armenia's foreign policy," Arutyunian said.
Also on Tuesday, an Armenian lawmaker said relations between Yerevan
and Moscow would be making progress if the Republican Party was
represented in government.
"The strategic partnership between our countries retains its urgency in
many international and bilateral projects; Russia remains an important
political and economic partner of Armenia," Republican Party member
Armen Ashotian said in an interview with Itar-Tass.
