    G. ARUSTAMYAN: "MY MAIN WEAPON WILL BE MY MOTHER TONGUE"

    Constituency #1 does not have 64180 voters as it is mentioned in the
    voters' register. The police gave exaggerated figures, journalist
    Gayane Arustamyan told a news conference on Wednesday.

    "The number of eligible voters in the constituency has increased by
    4000 as compared with the previous elections. Some 200 inaccuracies
    have been found in polling station 1/1. If we multiply it by 35
    [the number of polling stations in the constituency], the overall
    number of voters will stand at 7000. But these 7000 voters shown on
    the voters' register do not exist in reality," said Mrs Arustamyan,
    who is running for parliament from this single-mandate constituency.

    The constituency includes Avan community and part of Nor Nork
    district. Arustamyan's contenders at the election district are Stepan
    Safaryan (Heritage) and Ruben Hayrapetyan (Republican Party of Armenia,
    President of the Football Federation of Armenia).

    Gayane Arustamyan today invited her Republican contender to a televised
    debate. In the fight against her main contender [Ruben Hayrapetyan],
    Mrs Arustamyan will use only one weapon - her Mother Tongue.

    Speaking of her electoral campaign, the candidate said she would do
    house-to-house canvassing- she would knock at every door and speak
    to everyone.

    Gayane Arustamyan, who is backed by the opposition Armenian National
    Congress, has opened only one sub-headquarters.

    Ruben Hayrapetyan's response

    "I was lucky enough not to be invited to a boxing match," Republican
    Ruben Hayrapetyan said when answering a question of Aravot daily.

    "That Gayane probably relies on blackmail but I want to advise her
    to enter into an honest race, submit her program and the election
    platform of the gang that supports her.... I advise her to struggle
    in a civilized way and to avoid intrigues. Obviously, Gayane is a new
    person in the constituency and no one knows her properly, therefore
    she is trying to earn dividends defaming my good reputation, but all
    her endeavours will fail," he said adding that he does not want to
    take a victory over a female candidate, consequently he invited HAK
    Leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan to debate.
