Arshak Banouchyan, a member of the central office of the opposition
Armenian National Congress, is running for parliament in Election
District 11.
He told reporters today that citizens are gradually comprehending
the importance of their vote and that each election has served as a
unique test for the electorate in Armenia.
"Even with election fraud, I believe we will garner sufficient votes
to win seats in the parliament," noted Banouchyan who claims to be
an independent.
He says that the biggest opponent that he faces in his district is
the atmosphere of fear that the authorities are trying to sow in the
minds of voters.
Banouchyan noted that the situation on the ground is changing and that
those who in the past offered their services in doling out bribes to
voters can no longer be bought so easily.
