Armenian Communist Party to run for parliament relying on Russia's poll results

The Armenian Communist Party is willing to run for the 2012 parliamentary election after the Russian communists’ success to gain 19.3% of votes in the country’s recent polls.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the leader of the Party, Ruben Tovmasyan, said he hopes Armenians will be wise enough this time to follow the Russians’ example and make the right choice at the parliament polls scheduled for May.

“The foreign debt makes 4 billion drams [about $10,500], and people migrate at increasingly rapid paces. Are we independent when we beg [assistance] from all? The youth is facing lots of hardships, with the situation in villages being extremely intolerable. A villager gets no assistance once he meets a disaster; that’s why villages are becoming empty,” he said.
