ARMENIAN OPPOSITION PARTY SURE OF ELECTION WIN IN FIRST ROUND
Yerevan, 16 January: "There are people in all state structures, who
cooperate with us secretly," Aram Manukyan, the member of the
governing board of the Armenian Pan-National Movement said today in
Yerevan.
While speaking at a news conference in Yerevan, Manukyan did not tell
concrete names, noting that the number of people supporting the
candidacy of former Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosyan "continues
to grow in a stable manner."
"According to our research, if Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s electorate
continues to grow at the current rates, we will already win in the
first round of the election [on 19 February 2008]," the member of
governing board of the Armenian Pan-National Movement said.
Manukyan said that he does not rule out attempts of falsifying the
election results by the authorities, adding that "the Armenian
Pan-National Movement will not let this happen". "Any attempt to rig
the vote will turn out against those who will try to resort to it,"
he said.
