Former Deputy Head of the State Service for Emergency Situations of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Boris Avagyan today told reporters that he will support the opposition Reviving Armenia Party during the upcoming snap parliamentary elections.

Asked if he will be on the list of Armenia bloc, Avagyan stated that he hasn’t held any discussion on being included in the list.

“I will definitely support the opposition Reviving Armenia Party. I pass through the Goris-Meghri road and see panels reading Azerbaijan, and I see that the security of the residents of Syunik Province is ensured by Russian border guard troops and that this is their only hope for living. These issues require urgent solutions,” Avagyan said.

The opposition Reviving Armenia Party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun political party will run in the elections under the leadership of second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. On May 9, these political parties declared that they will run in the elections through the Armenia bloc.
