YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The most correct way of fighting
election rigging is to back the candidature of the NDU chairman
Vazgen Manukian in the presidential elections, the chairman of the
Alliance of National Democrats (AND) party, member of V. Manukian's
pre-election headquarters Arshak Sadoyan expressed this opinion at
the January 16 press conference. In his words, the opposition should
unite around V. Manukian, "on whom it is impossible to find filth".
A. Sadoyan said that if it were possible to control the process of
elections, V. Manukian would win without fail. However, the problem
is that all the elections have been rigged so far, and this time
the elections will be rigged again. According to him, at first the
authorities planned to hold elections in two rounds but upon seeing
the political situation, they have decided to hold elections in one
round. As A. Sadoyan put it, the election results will be "drawn"
in favor of the prime minister Serge Sargsian.
The AND leader said that the ideas about Levon Ter-Petrosian's
being the main opposition candidate at the upcoming elections are
artificially formed by the press that supports him, whereas the main
goal of the first Armenian president is "to clean himself from the
previous filth".
