YEREVAN. - The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is running an active campaign, Spokesperson for RPA, Eduard Sharamaznaov, told the aforementioned to journalists after the RPA Executive Body session on Friday.

According to him, issues related to the election campaign were discussed at the joint session of the RPA Executive Body and headquarters.

Each of the nine political forces of the election campaign tries to present its vision without refraining from crowd-pleasing assessments, he added.

To the question on the video released by Reincarnation band, Sharmazanov said: “Such attention indicates its success. If most part of the society discusses it, then the video has performed its campaign function. The meaning of the video shouldn’t be overestimated,” the Spokesperson said.

In his words, the RPA respects all the members of the political campaign. “We don’t specially target anyone. We are moving by our program, competitive team, performed work, and, most importantly, realistic promises,” he said, stressing that all the inquiries show that in case of combined work, the RPA has good chances of achieving success.

“The RPA has good starting positions. Moreover, the political rating of our President is quite high. It remains to run the campaign correctly, our people being the decider,”he noted.

Nevertheless, Shamazanov said that during the campaign certain forces express crowd-pleasing and non-professional views and give promises, to which they intend to respond.

To the observation that in his statement former defense minister Seyran Ohanyan referred to the existence of political prisoners in Armenia, the Spokesperson said:  “Let it be on his conscience. Before being dismissed from his post as a minister, I never heard any public hint on persons detained in Armenia for political reasons, whereas we seem to have no detainees after his dismissal.”
