    ROBERT KOCHARYAN CONGRATULATED LEVON TER-PETROSYAN

    On January 18 the Armenian president Robert Kocharyan visited the
    City Hall of Yerevan for a consultation and held a news briefing
    answering several questions concerning the presidential election.
    With regard to the possibility of a second stage Robert Kocharyan
    said these rumors are put up by political forces to enable political
    bargains. According to Robert Kocharyan, the society determines the
    number of election rounds, but public polls suggest that the
    candidate of the government stands a chance to win the election in
    the first round.

    Robert Kocharyan also commented on the concern voiced by the deputy
    leader of the Orinats Yerkir Party Heghine Bisharyan about the budget
    assignment of 170 million drams for new passports. The president said
    he promises that this money will not be spent in the first quarter to
    dispel doubts that new passports will be issued for vote tampering.
    Robert Kocharyan said the money is allocated for a more modern
    passport system.


    The reporters also asked his thoughts on Ter-Petrosyan's statement
    that if the other candidates say they will win, he says he has
    already won. Robert Kocharyan only said that he congratulates Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan.


    With regard to his plans after leaving office, President Robert
    Kocharyan said he will speak about it in April, in the period of
    inauguration of the next president.
