Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian presidential candidate from
"Dashnaktsutiun" party Vahan Hovhannissian summed up today the results
of the first ten days of the pre-election campaign.
According to him, during the visits to the regions of the country,
he noted for himself that the residents of rural settlement are
interested in the political life, are concerned about the future
of Armenia and are not solving particularly daily problems. The
presidential candidate stated that the people is more concerned about
the opportunity of secret voting.
Vahan Hovhannissian informed that in the Northern regions of the
country, the electors are suggested the idea that in the end Vahan
Hovhannissian will give his votes in favor of the candidate from
the authority, and persuaded them to vote openly. He stated that
this is "an absolute lie and a legend", and that even in the second
round he is not going to give his votes to any of the candidates,
since he is sure that he will be the one to participate in the second
round. ""Dashnaktsutiun" party will not tolerate such attitude towards
the electors and urges all the citizens not to give any promises and
defend their right for secret voting", Vahan Hovhannissian stated.
At that, the candidate did not agree with the result of the sociologic
surveys of international organizations, noting that he does not
trust the agents of whose companies, which work in the provinces. He
noted that already 170 thousand citizens have signed agreements with
"Dashnaktsutiun" party and their number grows from day to day.
According to the candidate, each time, when "Dashnaktsutiun"
participates in the elections, the Public TV of Armenia demonstrates
a number of anti-dashnak feature films, and such a phenomenon is
already becoming funny.
Talking about the pre-election campaigns of the rivals, Vahan
Hovhannissian stated that some of them are extremely passive, but at
the same time, there are candidates, who visit the regions, and the
procession, accompanying them, is enough to secure audience for them.
