Armenian presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasian has posted a
statement on his Facebook page about election bribes being distributed
for backing the presidential candidate Serzh Sargsyan. Ghukasyan
claims totally 5 billion will be distributed.
`Like during previous elections, this time as well the ruling party
distributes bribes and obliges people to back them. According to the
information we possess, a big sum is being offered for voting for the
presidential candidate Serzh Sargsyan. The ruling party is trying to
buy Armenia's political future,' the statement of the candidate says.
Ghukasian states that the international observers will take a huge
moral and political responsibility on them if they claim what they
claimed in 2008 convincing that the elections passed in conformity
with international standards.
`Such assessment will drive a wedge between the families of Armenian
and European peoples. It will create a wrong impression among our
people who will think that the European political forces as well come
to power through giving bribes and forcing people to vote for them,'
Ghukasyan stated.
`We think that February 18 voting will not reflect the people's wish.
Thus, the winner declared by the Central Election Commission will not
have right to present Armenia both in international and interior
relations. We are warning all the states that the statements made by
the person who took the office of the president in illegal way and the
future signed international documents will not be valid after real
democracy is established in Armenia. We also inform the Armenian
citizens that the legal acts to be approved or adopted by this person
will be nothing from the moment of their adoption,' the statement
runs.
The presidential candidate also stated that the political team which
supported him will sum up the activities of this round and will put a
beginning of new political process in Armenia, `being convinced that
through general civil disobedience the citizens will win the
criminal-oligarchic regime and establish final democracy in the
country'.
