Younger representatives of Armenia's pro-establishment and opposition parties are seeking to have a greater say in the debate ahead of the May parliamentary elections as many political forces promise to give more space to "new faces".
No lists of candidates for the elections have yet been unveiled, but judging from their rhetoric, many political forces, including the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), consider the change of generations as a major stimulus for future reform.
Azatuhi Simonyan, 20, a member of the Central Board of the now opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation's (Dashnaktsutyun) Youth Union, says that while bitter antagonism is a typical feature in Armenian politics, in the their struggle they will try to debate along ideological lines and on specific issues of great public concern.
