DASHNAKTSUTYUN NEEDS NO ALLIANCE
The presidential campaign allows Hrair Karapetyan from
Dashnaktsutyun's presidential candidate Vahan Hovanisyan's team to
say that people, especially in rural areas, are interested in the
election and are rather active. Hrair Karapetyan stated this on
February 8 during the discussion at the National Press Club supported
by the US National Democratic Institute.
Hrair Karapetyan says they nevertheless have political and
campaign-related concerns. Karapetyan noted that rumors are spread to
shape confidence among the public that Vahan Hovanisyan will withdraw
from the race to endorse the government candidate. We are identified
with the government or the opposition, meanwhile we differ from both.
He assures that Vahan Hovanisyan will go all the way because
Dashnaktsutyun needs no alliance, and others can join them, and even
if nobody joins them, their determination will not weaken, and they
will go all the way.
Hrair Karapetyan also said they condemn the climate of intolerance
during the election campaign.
