“We consider our electoral list quite competitive,” he said at a political discussion on candidates lists and programs of parties.

According to Mr. Safaryan, Prosperous Armenia’s candidates list comprises leading politicians, economists, lawyers and political analysts.

“Famous politicians having greatly contributed to the party’s activity, new politicians that stepped up cooperation with us in recent years and integrated into our team, are included in the list,” he added.
