During an open discussion organized by the "Politlogos" political
scientists' union, the Chairman of the ARF-D Bureau, Hrant Margaryan
said that the authorities must understand that there is no disaster
in a change of power through elections. "I believe that one has to
want to achieve a change through elections, and elections are far
more important than the votes secured by a political party". As far as
voting criteria is concerned, Margaryan said that often in apolitical
constituencies, ideology doesn't play a decisive role when it comes
to choose individuals or political forces.
Margaryan also announced that ARF-D is initiating a recruit of fair
elections volunteers who will impose this notion on the country, not
by the use of physical power but by their knowledge of the legislation
and their integrity, people of high moral standards who won't give
into corruption.
According to Azatutyun radio station, Margaryan explained that
the volunteers will work as party proxies and even fill electoral
commission seats reserved for ARF-D. The party needs honest activists
who cannot be intimidated or bribed by government loyalists, he said.
