New party to support Nikol Pashinyan (video)
New party, called Armenian Christian-Democratic Party (PPA), has been added to Armenian parties. At today's meeting with journalists, the members of this party informed that they will be right-wing forces. "This is not a religious organization, but it is a philosophy of the church, the religion of Etchmiadzin. Our place is right in the center. We will defend the views of the leader of the velvet revolution. We will cooperate with Nikol Pashinyan. In a sense, this party is conservative, in some sense liberal," said Levon Shirinyan, political scientist, member of the initiative group. Shirinyan assured that their position on Artsakh issue is one: "We will not tolerate any concessions." Vardan Ayvazyan, another member of the initiative group, said that the party's goal is to raise the social welfare. Levon Shirinyan stated that if they did not enter the parliament, they would make a revolution. Their first summit will take place on September 15. The symbol of the party is the white pigeon of Noyan.
