Gagik Minasyan, a member of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
parliamentary group, is sure that major part of Armenia's society
has great expectations of the upcoming presidential election.
According to him, serious and comprehensive work was carried out
during previous years.
"We succeeded in preventing a crisis, coping with domestic political
tension. Our consistent work put an end to the tension," Mr Minasyan
told journalists on Wednesday.
"All the major political forces are represented in the National
Assembly, which inspires hope that the upcoming presidential election
will be held at a higher level," he said.
Mr Minasyan stressed the importance of a calm situation in Armenia.
"It will shape a positive opinion of elections among Armenians. It
is of high importance because we will be able to speed up our reforms
after the election," he said.
Mr Minasyan also noted that the candidates will certainly compete in
the election. "I think we are going to see a real competition between
the programs and four really prominent political figures," he said,
implying Armenia's incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, Chairman of
the Heritage party Raffi Hovannisian, Armenia's ex-premier Hrant
Bagratyan and Chairman of the Self-Determination Paruir Hairikyan.
"Even if all the other candidates participate, the level of competition
will remain unchanged," Mr Minasyan said.
With respect to some political forces' decisions against participating
in the election campaign, he noted that they would nominate their
candidates if they had even a ghost of a chance.
The opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) and the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) united round the
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) and lost their electorate.
The current situation shows that political forces will have to
implement their programs using their own potential, Mr Minasyan said.
