I compare emigration from Armenia with internal bleeding,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>To solve these issues, Kokobelyan considered collaboration with other political groups likely. However, it&#8217;s impossible for the Free Democrats to create an alliance with parties that have different ideologies, such as, for example, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D), he said, since it would be &#8220;artificial&#8221; and thus, wouldn&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n<p>The party leader, however, did consider running in the upcoming parliamentary elections with the Heritage Party likely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I met with [Heritage Party leader] Raffi Hovannisian. We have many ideological commonalities with the Heritage Party. I think, there&#8217;s a public demand for the Heritage Party and the Free Democrats to run in the elections together,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;There are two main reasons why people leave Armenia: the lack of jobs and justice.
