    DASHNAKTSUTYUN CANDIDATE COMMITTED TO ESTABLISHMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL
    ORDER

    On February 8 the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun
    held a rally in which several tens of thousands of people
    participated, during which the advantages of the candidate of
    Dashnaktsutyun were enumerated, criticism of the present and the past
    was heard and election of future was endorsed.

    In view of so many people the question occurs which force intends to
    become president against the will of people, Hrant Margaryan,
    representative of the ARF Bureau, started his speech. According to
    him, the number of people gathered at the square is evidence to their
    determination and self-confidence. `Today we have come together for a
    breakthrough in the life of our country, to change the government
    through an election, to establish fair government, people's
    government, our government,' Hrant Margaryan stated. According to
    him, they come to shape a positive axis, and there are two margins,
    the former and the present. According to Hrant Margaryan, people are
    the victim of the former and present government, there is no
    difference between them regarding the policies of social justice and
    equity.

    `You have contaminated the atmosphere, one intimidates the Armenian
    people through the other,' Hrant Margaryan addressed the former and
    the present governments. The presidential candidate Vahan Hovanisyan
    says the Armenian people live in two different worlds. `We live in
    two different worlds, in two parallel worlds which never come across.
    As viewed from the outside, the country develops, the country goes
    ahead, in reality it turns around in the same place, in reality there
    is stagnation,' Vahan Hovanisyan says. According to him, democracy
    and economy appear to develop, however, the society and people have
    nothing to do with it. `And these two worlds are gradually departing.
    We can see this development, but this development is departing from
    us' Vahan Hovanisyan says. He thinks we failed to realize an
    important thing at the dawn on independence.

    `We failed to realize that the regaining of independence which we had
    waited for centuries and our ancestors had fought and died for does
    not bring about justice automatically. It takes more struggle, more
    unity, more effort, more determination, and most importantly, no
    fear, no fear to achieve justice after independence, and you are
    here, it means we will gain it by all means,' Vahan Hovanisyan
    stated, noting that he and his friends are free and with their choice
    people will also become free.

    `I will not turn the Constitution and the laws into mere documents
    about which you learn from speeches of political activists on TV or
    in newspapers, but they will become tangible, part of your life. The
    primary effort of the president is to restore constitutional order,
    maintain constitutional order, and it will be the first thing that I
    will do. And first of all the people close to me, people around me,
    my team, people standing here will feel the rigidness of
    constitutional order, for me and my friends to gain the right to
    apply it to everyone,' Vahan Hovanisyan says. He noted that even the
    class which considers itself beyond the law, privileged, will realize
    after the victory of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, establishment of
    legality, that living and working in such a country is more calm,
    safe and reliable.

    In the end, Vahan Hovanisyan pronounced the famous quote that good
    citizens elect bad government who do not participate in the election.
    `Dear friends, do participate, do mobilize, do use your
    possibilities, get your neighbors, friends, people around you vote,
    and we will succeed. They cannot cheat us, defeat us through fraud.
    Come together, do not let anyone remain indifferent, come together,
    get mobilized, do not be guilty for, shaping a government through
    indifference with which we will get tired. Time will pass, and the
    children who are standing here will scold you if we do not win this
    time either. But if we win, they will thank you for this day, for
    standing here in cold, and will be grateful,' Vahan Hovanisyan says.
