YEREVAN, JANUARY 11, NOYAN TAPAN. "If I see that the elections are
falsified, realizing my rights and knowing the laws well, I will take
steps proceeding from the legislation, that is, I will hold rallies,
processions, pickets, demonstrations, court examinations on
falsifications, and other measures will start." First RA President
Levon Ter-Petrosian said at the January 11 press conference.
Answering the question of how he estimates his chances of winning the
presidential elections, Ter-Petrosian said that already today his
audience, thanks to meetings with the public and rallies, makes half a
million people. He assured that in a few days and especially when the
election campaign starts his audience will considerably increase and
will reach one million. According to him, the very support of the
people is decisive in his fight and his success depends on that support.
L. Ter-Petrosian also assured that he does not need any support from
outside. In this respect, according to him, the issue of sympathy of
this or that state does not play a significant part.
