YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, ARMENPRESS: A deputy chairman of the governing
Republican Party, Galust Sahakian, said a vote recount in about 135
polling stations did not reveal serious breaches which could have
impacted the final outcome of the February 19 presidential election.
Speaking at a news conference Galust Sahakian said the ultimate goal
of his party was to conduct good election and have prime minister Serzh
Sarkisian, who is also chairman of the party, elected as president.
Sahakian said his party fellows failed to foresee one problem-that some
political groups will jeopardize the process of strengthening Armenia's
sovereignty and will capitalize on the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict issue.
"We have managed to reunite our strength. It is obvious today that
the people do not want to jeopardize the country's security," he
said citing rallies in support of Serzh Sarkisian held in many towns
beyond Yerevan.
Sahakian also denied rumors that the personnel of public sector
enterprises and organizations are forced to attend these rallies.
"Levon Ter-Petrosian does not seek presidency, his ultimate goal is
to shatter the foundations of our statehood," he said and referring
to tens of thousands of Ter-Petrosian's supporters who are protesting
for the sixth day in a row as 'disoriented and mistaken people."
