Member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Aghvan Vardanyan
called on other political forces to maintain the rules of civilized
competition.
`It is not the last battle, and we should be able to maintain the
rules of civilized competition,' he said speaking to reporters today,
stressing that he makes such statement after noticing pre-electoral
tension in many places.
The ARF representative said he is not pleased with the work of mass
media who are not acting freely and independently. `I regret for the
orienting public opinion polls. They cannot change anything. But there
is a group of people enjoying such statements,' he said.
Vardanyan reminded that such scenario was registered during the
previous elections as well when the ARF was predicted to get small
number of votes but received 170 000 in case when the number of the
ARF members was 6000-6500.
Aghvan Vardanyan said a campaign is being carried out against the ARF.
According to him, negative statements are being voiced addressed to
the ARF leaders, the circumstance that the ARF used to be part of the
ruling coalition is being speculated on, attempt is being made to
separate the party. `Forget it. No one can separate us. Attempts have
been made to do it during the past 20 years. But neither foreign
enemies nor interior contenders managed to do it,' he said.
Aghvan Vardanyan said in #4 election district they are going to back
chief editor of 168 Zham paper Satik Seyranyan as the other candidates
nominated there are from opponent political forces and Satik Seyranian
is non-party and is independent journalist.
