PanARMENIAN.Net - "I was not active as Armenian citizen and
representative of a national minority because I was not into politics.
However, problems of Assyrian community made me accept the proposal
of Armenia's Democratic Party to run for the National Assembly
by proportional system," president of the Federation of Assyrian
Organizations of Armenia said on April 26.
Speaking about the election campaign, Democratic party's nominee
Irina Gasparyan told the journalists that nobody hinders parties'
visit to provinces, but they sometimes experience problems in meeting
with the voters.
"Provincial headquarters of ruling parties follow those participating
in election meetings; school and rural administration staff are
registered in the Republican Party of Armenia despite their will,
and they are threatened with dismissal unless they secure a certain
number of votes for the party," she stated.
There are many similar instances, all initiated by governmental
parties, Gasparyan said adding that the Democratic Party aims to
achieve constitutional changes, because Armenia is a constitutional
state and is responsible for each of its citizens.
