“In case of fair elections, a new government will be formed to bring the country out of the difficult situation, Vartan Oskanian said during a meeting of inter-party headquarters to counter election violations.

He further blamed RPA for the present social and economic situation.

“Mass rallies prove public support for the forces involved in inter-party headquarters,” he said, ironically adding that RPA rally on May 4 is just a concert.
