"If only there is sufficient vote of confidence one can demand full-value fulfillment of all promises and preelection programs," K. Galstian said. According to G. Tsarukian's Spokesperson, the information that BH representatives give out bribe of 5 thousand drams to Yerevan residents does not correspond to reality.

Speaking about the vacant ministerial posts as a result of ARFD's leaving the coalition K. Galstian said that BH has well-prepared specialists, who are able to head those ministries. According to him, they will also consider normal the circumstance if only RPA representatives take those posts.
