    THE REPUBLICAN KNEW

    Lragir.am
    06 June 06

    News that appeared on Lragir.am on June 1, entitled "Republican Knew
    It Has No Votes and Never Had" reported about an opinion poll conducted
    by a group of Russian political technologists and sociologists invited
    by the Republican Party on the eve of the parliamentary election in
    2003. This publication stirred up politicians and the mass media,
    whose reaction sometimes acquired ugly expressions, as it is accepted
    in Armenia. Considering this interest, we present some facts from
    this poll. We have chosen the indices concerning the three political
    parties of the former coalition, the Republican Party, the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation and the Orinats Yerkir Party, as well as
    the United Labor Party. The ULP was also singled out because it came
    replace to some degree the Orinats Yerkir Party in the coalition. We
    note once again that the poll was ordered by the Republican Party,
    on the eve of the parliamentary election 2003.

    The outcome of the poll suggests that the leaders of the campaign
    are Ardarutiun Alliance, the National Unity Party, the ARF and the OYP.

    It is written in the conclusion of the poll that only the Communist
    Party and the Republican Party can overcome the hindrance of 5
    percent. Here are the results of the poll by regions.

    Once again we want to remind that the poll was ordered by the
    Republican Party, and Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan ran for
    parliament on the party ticket of the Republican, and, to put it so,
    was not "declassified." If it were ordered by another political force,
    the abovementioned reaction would be natural.

    Whereas in 2003 the Republican-Serge Sargsyan alliance got the majority
    in the parliament.
