On May 20, during a partial meeting of the Republican Party in Armavir Marz, Andranik Margaryan said, “…It’s no secret that the pre-election campaign has supposedly started, accordingly both current and newly founded parties will try to be involved in social and political processes. Our party doesn’t think there is anything wrong about that and beleives that it is a normal process”. He said that the Republican Party had all the necessary background to keep its places.
