ARFD rep. says election lists do not inspire hope

Head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun's parliamentary group Vahan Hovhannisyan commented on the electoral lists of political forces saying they do not give any hope for changes the people expected.

With regard to the list of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, he told a press conference that “there is no fresh spirit here, officials follow the officials, no new people are introduced”.

According to Hovhannisyan, these lists indicate the “bankruptcy of human resources”.

As to the coming parliamentary elections, ARFD representative said: “Quality of the elections does not depend on the authorities' wish but rather on the people’s mood.”

The politician emphasized that the people need to believe in changes, and lack of hope results in indifference, while the latter brings forward readiness to sell their votes.

In this context, Hovhannisyan said he does not believe in RPA’s “Let’s believe in order to change” slogan mentioning that “they have at least to do something for people to believe them”.
