No changes are under way within the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA). The rumors that a list of candidates for the 2012 parliamentary elections is being discussed are false, the Hovhanes Sahakyan, an MP of the RPA, told reporters on September 14.

“There are no disagreements within the RPA. No ticket is on the agenda. The RPA will discuss the issue pursuant to decisions by the President and the RPA Council,” Sahakyan said.

As to the rumors about disagreements between the coalition parties, he pointed out that “we have normal, friendly and working relations with our partners.”

Yesterday, a number of RPA members both confirmed and refuted the rumors that the party is discussing a list of candidates to run for Parliament in 2012. RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan is rumored likely to top the list.
