"We cannot cooperate with the authors of "March 1", Head of Board
of the Armenian National Movement, member of the Armenian National
Congress (ANC) Aram Manoukyan said at today's press conference
when asked whether the rumors about the ANC's cooperation with the
authorities are true.
"We can't forgive the authorities for the bloodshed, the political
prisoners and the dozens of broken destinies, consequently, these
rumors are absurd. We carry a heavy burden on our shoulders - the
voters' hope. Within the frames of our campaign, we are going to
criticize nobody, except Serzh Sargsyan and the Republican Party of
Armenia. Adverse publicity is not our method, but we cannot pass by
the authorities' steps in silence. Our country is on the brink of
a precipice, and the situation is changing for the worse with every
passing day. Over the past few years poverty in the country has reached
37%, and the prices of products have grown by 44%", he said and added
that only about 10% of the residents of Armenia feel good here.
Manoukyan said that violations and bribery at this stage of the
campaign are absurd given that Orinats Yerkir distributes telephones
and expired perfume. Manoukyan believes that the country needs a
legitimate power, and the entry of the ANC into the parliament will
be the first step towards establishment of such a state. He added
that there are some civilized and intellectual people left in the
country, and it is impossible to buy their votes. The ANC relies on
these people, he said.
