The national and regional lists of the Armenian Republican party will be published within the time prescribed by law, said the RPA spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov.  "We will discuss it on Wednesday night and presented the list within the time prescribed by law. I don’t need to go over the list name by name, "he said.

Asked whether the Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan is eligible to be included into the party's national list, he said: "It’s not me who should decide whether he has a right or not. This issue is up to the relevant state agencies. "

Earlier, Armenian media outlets reported, that Karen Karapetyan will have to drop off the list, since his residency of the last 4 years (he recently held a high position in the Russian "Gazprom", and therefore, live in Russia - ed) does not comply with the RA legislation about candidate’s requirements.
