Three presidential candidates - Hrant Bagratyan, Paruir Hairikyan
and Raffi Hovannisian - issued a joint statement.
In their statement, the presidential candidates call for publication
of the lists of voters that are absent from Armenia and for an active
struggle because, they believe, this is the only way of changing the
current situation.
In their statement, the three presidential candidates express their
concern. They consider the February 18 presidential election a
historic event.
"Unfortunately, we have not so far been able to build up an Armenia
of rule of law, in conformity with panhuman democratic standards and
national values," says the statement.
Forming a democratic government by means of elections in Armenia has
remained a cherished dream for society. This disgraceful situation
made the presidential candidates put forward a number of proposals.
First, publishing the lists of voters absent from Armenia, who, in
defiance of Armenia's Constitution, are stripped of the opportunity
to exercise their voting right. Specifically, lists of voters that
have been absent from Armenia for more than 180 days must be put up
separately to prevent voting instead of them.
All the presidential candidates, including Armenia's incumbent
President Serzh Sargsyan, must assume the responsibility (not in
only word, but also in deed) to rule out the use of administrative
resources and intimidation.
"We call on all the citizens to take part in the February 18
presidential election," says the statement.
