ideologies

Yerevan (Yerkir) - ARF presidential candidate Vahan Hovhannesian met
with voters in Yerevan's Davitashen and Center districts on February 16.
"I am sure you all know Vahan Hovhannesian, and you realize he will be
the type of president for whom Armenians and family are superior
values," Artsvik Minasian, a member of the ARF faction in parliament,
said, addressing crowds. Minasian said that Hovhannesian has included
all the issues in his election platform, he can eliminate the
corruption and make bureaucrats accountable before people. "I am sure
you would not make a mistake if you elect Vahan," he said.
"Shame on those who made our people become so disappointed from the
current situation that they are ready to elect the former regime,"
Hovhannesian said. A rally is going on at the Opera House now, and what
we hear is that someone speaking there says everybody driving with
white flags will be imprisoned. Who are you to imprison people? Why
should there be borders between sectors of our people again?"
He said he knows about the problems of the people and if elected he
will settle all the issues very quickly.
"During the Armenian Pan-National Movement's rule, the people were
deprived from heat, power, etc. it is now possible to restore all that
and it is being restored," he said. But the injustice has remained, he
went on saying. Hovhannesian said that he has come to open the door to
new opportunities.
He said that the ARF opposes to a development that only the rich
benefit from, who made a fortune during the faulty privatization and
then got to government offices. Now the old and the current regimes are
fighting each other but the fight is not based on ideologies and
politics because both realize that if fighting based on ideologies,
they would lose to the ARF. This is why they are cursing each other and
reject debates. They are fighting for money and power. The old regime
wants to power again, the new one does not want to let that happen.
"And only one power is coming to break that chain. We can break it
because we are not a part of that chain," Hovhannesian said.
