OPPOSITION MP CALLS FOR ALLIED VOTING IN ARMENIA'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Aram Manukyan, an MP of the Armenian National Congress (ANC),
parliamentary group, believes allied voting in the forthcoming
presidential election is the only way to the Armenian people's
salvation.
"If not, emigration rates will go up," he said.
If the ANC fails to draw up an agenda now, a joint candidate is out
of the question.
"If we are able to resolve our common problems, and we are succeeding
now, dealing with the second will be much easier. Believe, it is a
political stance. If you raise the issue of candidates before the
first stage, the problem will not be resolved," the MP said.
Referring to the years of confrontation between the Armenian National
Movement (ANM) and Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun
(ARF-D), Mr Manukyan said that it was not easy for them to sit round
one table, but they overcame the barrier for the state's sake.
"We feel the seriousness of the problem. The ARF-D feels it as well,"
he said.
Mr Manukyan is sure that if the "program of getting rid of Serzh
Sargsyan" is approved, it will be the basis for thinking of the person
capable of resolving the current problems.
As regards Armen Rustamyan, Head of the ARF-D parliamentary group,
who does not see any problem of "getting rid of Serzh Sargsyan,"
Mr Manukyan said that the authorities have never responded to the
ARF-D's proposal.
"I regard as logical both the ARF-D's proposal and the authorities'
not responding to it. At the same time, I think the result is obvious,"
Mr Manukyan said.
