VETERAN POLITICIAN CALLS FOR OPPOSITION UNITY TO
ENSURE FREE POLLS
YEREVAN, JULY 28, ARMENPRESS: An outspoken veteran
opposition parliament member Arshak Sadoyan has called
today on his fellows from other opposition groups to
put aside their ambitions and ideological differences
and unite in one joint force so that to be able to
challenge the authorities' plans to take hold of
parliament in next year's national polls.
Sadoyan who is head of a tiny National Democratic
Alliance (NDA) party said to a news conference today
it was the only way for the opposition to foil the
authorities' covert desire to again rig the elections.
"Only united the opposition will be able to ensure
free and transparent polls, clean of fraud," Sadoyan
argued. Recalling the 2003 presidential election,
when Artashes Geghamian, the head of the opposition
National Unity, refused to support Stepan Demirchian,
who was to contest the presidential post in the second
round, Sadoyan said opposition forces should unite not
as an alliance but for the sake of free and fair
elections.
