candidates were carrying out.

Susanna Abrahamyam, press speaker of the `Orinats
Yerkir’ party, mentioned that a box of suggestions was
installed in Arthur Baghdasaryan’s pre-election
headquarter, where the citizens threw their proposals
and received comprehensive responds. Heghine
Beshiryan, head of the party’s headquarter, visits
their headquarters in the regions to see what problems
they have and gives solutions to them. Susanna
Abrahamyan said that they would have headquarters in
all regions of the Republic. They work on the
pre-election schedule and Arthur Baghdasaryan’s
pre-election program will be ready soon.

Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s team is actively getting ready
to the elections; they were the first to present the
pre-elections program. Arman Mushinyan,
Ter-Petrosyan’s press speaker, ensures that they are

Conciliation’ party informed that they were discussing
their program. His pre-election foundation will be
opened today. The candidate is going to visit all
regions during the campaign, meet the citizens. Aram

speeches on the regional TV stations.

`Peope’s Party’ convened a session to decide the names
of proxies. They also worked on the pre-election
