YEREVAN. – Armenia’s opposition Free Democrats Party (FDP) denied the media reports that the party will dissolve and join the opposition Armenian National Movement (ANM).  

FDP spokeswoman Anzhela Khachatryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that these rumors are from the genre of fantasy. 

“No, there are no, have not been, and will not be such discussions. The Free Democrats have their clear program, their place in Armenia’s political arena, and raising such matters is simply irrelevant,” Khachatryan stated.    

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Free Democrats Party could soon dissolve and join the “restoring” Armenian National Movement, Irates De Facto newspaper reported. 

“Our source informed that internal talks have already begun with FDP, and it is apparent that they are not at all against uniting with the new political force. 

According to our source, to avoid a possible ‘collapse’ of the political party, they have decided to make a ‘smooth’ transition—without severe shocks—under the aegis of the new political force.

So, the Free Democrats Party leaders may soon state that they and ANM members have the same ideological basis.

[But] the status of the initially two and now [solely] one member of this party in the NA [i.e., National Assembly] faction is doubtful,” Irates De Facto wrote.
