MODESTY ADORNS THEM

Politics

“It is better for an oligarch to privatize an electoral area than a whole party”, says Vahram Baghdasaryan, who has been elected deputy from Vanadzor by the majority system.

He is against the 100% proportional system. According to him, if the political agreement is violated and a similar draft is put to discussion, he will introduce another draft which offers the correlation 75/56 in the Parliament. The deputy wonders how a country which did not have an electoral system for 70 years can pass on to the proportional system at once.

According to Baghdasaryan, the electors do not know the majority of those whose candidacy was put forward by the party rolls. He said that the 70% of the legislative initiatives in the Parliament are taken by deputies elected by the majority system.

Vahram Baghdasaryan who is member of the initiative group of the party «Unity for the Sake of Armenia» thinks that they do not found a new party; they “revive the old”. The party will decide during its October referendum if they will participate in the coming Parliamentary elections or not.

According to Vahram Baghdasaryan, the party has 37 000 members, as “they are modest and do not like talking much”.
