Armenian Revival Party Chairman Arthur Baghdasaryan, who heads the party’s proportional representation list in the National Assembly election in Armenia, has cast his ballot in Sunday’s vote.

“I voted for the revival of Armenia,” Baghdasaryan told reporters at the election precinct, informed the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter. “I voted for our people’s coming out of this situation, I voted that we have a strong, competitive, organized state, prosperous people, and a nation and society that look toward their future with confidence in the 21st century.” 

He added that even though the new electoral process was quite complicated, they were good innovations that “shall give their good fruit.”

Armenia is holding a parliamentary election Sunday for the first time since the new Constitution was approved through a referendum in December 2015. The new National Assembly will have 105 deputies, four of whom—representatives of ethnic minorities.

A total of 2,009 election precincts are open all through the country. This voting will be the only national one in the next five years, as Armenia is transitioning to a parliamentary republic.

Five political parties and four blocs are running for parliament. Political parties have to get 5 percent of votes, whereas the blocs need 7 percent to be elected to the National Assembly of Armenia.
