YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. In the forthcoming presidential
elections the Dashnaktsutiun will decisively struggle against
electoral falsifications. This statement was made by Armen Rustamian,
the representative of the Supreme Body of the ARF Armenia and the
Head of the pre-electoral headquarters of the candidate of the ARF
Dashnaktsutiun, during the meeting with a group of intellectual women
on February 14.
He mentioned that Dashnaktsutiun has members of commissions and
empowered people in all the 1923 electoral stations. According to
Armen Rustamian, the representatives of Dashnaktsutiun are ready to
cooperate with the empowered people of the other candidates as well
with regard to the control over the elections. He expressed hope
that the sealing of passports will make the possibility of a double
ballot rather difficult. The innovation, according to which people can
vote in a place they are not registered, according to him, creates
a possibility for electoral falsifications. Armen Rustamian did not
exclude the possibility of the use of electoral bribes towards the
members of the commissions as well. He stressed that giving bribes
and taking bribes are criminally punished deeds. In order to exclude
such activities, it is necessary to punish those, who are guilty,
a thing, which, according to Armen Rustamian, the authorities will
not do and the Dashnaktsutiun has no such opportunity.
In response to the question of a participant of the meeting on whether
Dashnaktsutiun, the candidate of which is leading a rather successful
electoral struggle, does not have an arrangement with the current
authorities and, in particular, with the President of the country,
Armen Rustamian gave a negative answer.
On the occasion of depriving the RA citizens, who are abroad, of the
possibility to vote, Armen Rustamian mentioned that that has been done
particularly to allay the fear connected with the dual citizenship
suggested by Dashnaktsutiun, according to which the citizens, who
are abroad, can decide the fate of the republic.
