    PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE VAZGEN MANUKIAN TO VISIT MARZES LATER

    Noyan Tapan
    Jan 24, 2008

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 24, NOYAN TAPAN. At the initial stage of his
    pre-election campaign, the candidate for presidency of the RA,
    chairman of the National Democratic Union (NDU) Vazgen Manukian
    will present his program provisions and ideological approaches to
    the public on television and through the mass media, after which he
    will meet with voters. In his opinion, "the current period requires
    sensible, well thought-out propaganda". Like in the previous elections,
    he will pay visits to marzes at the last stage so that voters will
    be familiar with his program and be interested in meeting him and
    asking him questions. As for rallies, according to V. Manukian,
    although rallies are important in terms of conducting propaganda,
    this importance sould not be overestimated as the actual impact of
    rallies on the final results are less than is assumed. He said that
    the experience of the previous elections shows that "our people is
    quite curious, also hospitable", and for this reason Armenians go to
    listen to the person who has visited them but each of them has his
    own opinion and is usually determined beforehead whom to elect.

    In parallel with organizing the pre-election campaign, the pre-election
    headquarters of V. Manukian are clarifying the list of persons
    empowered to act for the candidate. In order to control efficiently
    the process of elections, the NUD, which has no authority to appoint
    its members in electoral commissions, has applied to the "Heritage"
    party, presenting a list of candidates for membership in nearly 100
    local electoral commissions.

    The formation of local electoral commissions will begin on January
    24, and "Heritage" has in advance expressed a willingness to provide
    extraparliamentary parties with places in local electoral commissions,
    in which the party has no opportunity to appoint members because of
    insufficient number of qualified candidates for commission membership.
