YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The decision not to support any
candidate in the presidential elections made at the 37th congress of
the Communist Party of Armenia (CPA) has been kept unchanged. Ruben
Tovmasian, the First Secretary of the Central Committee of CPA,
stated at the January 16 press conference. Meanwhile he said that
theoretically CPA is ready to support the candidate, who will admit
that the Soviet period was the golden age of the Armenian people,
will agree to declare November 29 a state holiday and will guarantee
the right of work, rest, free treatment and education of each citizen.
Touching upon the call of Yuri Manukian, the Chairman of the United
Communist Party of Armenia, voiced the day before, according to which,
all communists should vote for pro-governmental candidate S. Sargsian,
R. Tovmasian said that UCPA or any other force considering itself
communist has no right to make such a statement. "It is tactlessness
when a non-existing party makes a statement on behalf of all
communists," the CPA leader said.
