RLPA has yet to announce the party to join
The Ramkavar Liberal Party of Armenia elected Edward Antinyan as its new chairperson during the party's 19th congress today.
The party's former chairperson Harutyun Arakelyan gave clarifications for the new chairperson's election. In terms of issues outside of the party, Arakelyan mentioned that Armenia and the Diaspora still have discrepancies in terms of the Armenian Genocide and deemed it necessary to solve the issue before the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.
Harutyun Arakelyan also presented the reasons for his resignation and indicated that he took the step with the conviction that the party needs to divide labor before the upcoming elections. Arakelyan denied rumors about him being under pressure and said he is resigning at ease. In the end, Harutyun Arakelyan nominated Edward Antinyan.
After his election, Antinyan pledged to put in all his efforts for the party's development. As for the upcoming elections, Antinyan said the sole objective of the Ramkavar Liberal Party of Armenia is to come to power.
Will the party join another party during the 2012 parliamentary elections? In response, Antinyan said that will be clear during the party's special congress.
