YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The Union of Armenians of Russia
issued a statement in connection with the February 19 presidential
elections in Armenia. The statement spread by Ara Abrahamian, the
President of the World Armenian Congress and the Union of Armenians
of Russia, a UNESCO Ambassador of Good Will, in particulr reads:
"The presidential elections held in Armenia on February 19, 2008 are
an important political event in the fate of the Armenian state.
The elections allowed all the parties to present their programs to the
society, while the people had the opportunity to compare the programs
of the candidates for the post of president and to give preference
to the candidate who has most fully and correctly determined the
way of the further development of the Armenian society and who will
ensure active economic growth and a rise in the standard of living
of the population and create an atmosphere of stability, peace and
solidarity in the Republic of Armenia.
The elections took place, and the leader of the Republican Party of
Armenia Serge Sargsian has been elected the president of the Republic
of Armenia.
The results of the election campaign have been recognized by numerous
observers - representatives of international organizations, as well
as representatives of CIS member states and various countries. The
opposition parties call the election results into question. It
is possible that in a number of polling stations there were some
violations which were registered by local and international observers.
Naturally, all the violation cases, in our opinion, must be examined
carefully and the guilty offiacials must be held accountable in
accordance with law and through the legal system. Any attempt to
solve the problems by illegal means may lead to destabilization of
the internal political situation in Armenia and may cause irreparable
damage to the international prestige of our state.
We are firmly convinced that it cannot be allowed that disorders and
clashes will start because of unlawful actions.
Maintenance of stability in the society and the consolidation of all
healthy forces of the nation may allow Armenia to ensure sustainable
economic development, solution of social problems, an increase in the
standard of living of the people, strengthening of the state security
and Armenia's positions in the international arena.
We are convinced that this time our people - as it has happened many
a time in our history - will alos overcome today's difficulties and
will go ahead along the path of strenthening the stability, peace
and harmony in the world."
