The "Civil Contract" strictly filters out future members.

ArmInfo.Legends that people have been waiting for months for the opportunity to join the ruling party "Civil Contract" has been confirmed. "This is not a legend at  all. This is true," said the Acting Minister of Education of Armenia,  Member of the Board of the CC Party Araik Harutyunyan on November 5  in an interview with journalists.

According to him, the party has established very serious criteria for  the selection of members of the State Duma. "After the velvet  revolution, thousands and thousands of citizens of the country  expressed a desire to join the ranks of the State Duma. As a result,  we identified very strict selection filters," he explained.  Thus,  the candidate's participation in the early activities of the Civil  Contract party, and at the same time the degree of his involvement in  recent political events in Armenia can be a decisive factor for his  entry into the CC.

In addition, as Arutyunyan said, it is possible that during the  election period many teachers and heads of educational institutions  will also wish to join the DG, based on past experience. In order to  ensure full political apoliticality of the educational system,  according to Araik Harutyunyan, it will be right to legally fix the  imperative to suspend their participation in a political party, or  temporarily freeze it for a period of work in an educational  institution, as is done during the recruitment of a future law  enforcement officer.  Today he himself. The head of the Ministry of  Education and Science has already decided on his participation in the  upcoming elections. "I will be nominated in the same place where last  time - from Shengavit and Malacia-Sebastia, where I gained enough  votes," he said. According to the results of discussions with party  members, Araik Harutyunyan will decide to continue working in the  Cabinet of Ministers or to engage in legislative activities in the  country's parliament.

As for the information that many "doubtful elements" are included in  the CC electoral list, then, as Harutyunyan stated, "people come up  with non-existent windmills and start fighting with them. I think in  a short time we will publish the list of candidates from the DG, and  you be able to assess how this information is true. "
