Forthcoming parliamentary election to appear serious trial for Armenia
The forthcoming parliamentary election will become a serious trial for our republic, RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in IA Regnum's press center today. Armenia's future depends on the election process. "We are bound to hold a fair election not because we may be deprived of the Millennium Challenge Program. If the election is held in conflict with international standards it will damage implementation of all programs Armenia is engaged in," the RA FM said.

Millennium Challenge Corporation Chief Executive Officer John Danilovich said the other day in Washington that if the election is falsified the program may be stopped.
