Heritage MP Armen Martirosyan commented on changing to a 100-percent proportional election system.

Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party is conducting talks with the opposition Armenian National Congress, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party, and Free Democrats Party, during which they are discussing the matter of changing to a 100-percent proportional election system, Heritage MP Armen Martirosyan informed.

In response to the question as to the possibility of holding joint rallies, or other actions, as a result of these talks, Martirosyan said this will depend on the results of the working consultation. “Our opposition colleagues immediately responded to the announcement and expressed their support. So, I believe we can carry out joint actions,” he noted.     

In Armen Martirosyan’s words, however, joining around a 100-percent proportional election system is not that step based upon which a possible united bloc can be discussed. “Blocs suppose a much greater cooperation; they assume a greater number of matters. I do not think this to be the issue which could turn into a bloc,” the Heritage MP stated.
