SOMETIMES BRIBE IS NO BRIBE?
[05:26 pm] 27 October, 2006
Will the opposition have majority candidates in all the electoral
areas during the 2007 Parliamentary elections? According to deputy
Stepan Zaqaryan, this is an idea which must be discussed taking into
account the experience of the previous elections.
«We must discuss if a famous politician, for example Vazgen Manoukyan,
should be nominated in an electoral area where people have been bribed
during the last four years. Although, if they give people money for
several years in a row, maybe it is no more bribe; maybe people prefer
not an experienced politician but those candidates who solve their
everyday problems», Mr. Zaqaryan said half jokingly.
During the NA briefings the journalists tried to find out the opinion
of deputy Mekhak Mkhitaryan about the possible initiatives of the
opposition. He considered this `a truly progressive step' saying that
putting forward candidacies by the majority system the opposition will
be able to check its reputation in the society.
