YEREVAN, JANUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The Ramkavar-Azatakan Party
of Armenia (RAPA) keeps away from the process of supporting any
candidate in the presidential elections to be held on February 19,
not taking part in agitation or anti-agitation for any candidate. This
was mentioned in the statement of RAPA Republican Board.
RAPA made such a decision in consideration of the circumstances
that the process of Dashink and National Revival parties' joining
RAPA, which started in autumn, cannot finish until the presidential
elections, as well as registering that neither before the 2007 RA
parliamentary elections nor before the 2008 presidential elections
a strong ideological pole was formed in the opposition sphere, which
could be a real alternative to the authorities.
The document also mentioned that RAPA most of all attaches
importance to organization of fair and legal elections and calls
those responsible for elections' quality for once more not damaging
Armenia's international reputation but using the electoral process
in order to absolutely remove the word combination "illegitimate"
from Armenia's political system.
