YOUTH INTERESTED IN PRE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN
[01:26 pm] 08 February, 2008
Armenia’s youth turn out to be interested in the
upcoming presidential election but they avoid sharing
an opinion.
`Sometimes I watch the campaign as my family members
are interested in it,’ 19-year-old Anahit said.
`But there are more interesting TV programmes to watch
instead of the boring campaign,’ her friend said.
A Pedagogical University student says that besides
watching the campaign he discusses the latest themes
with his friends on the telephone.
`I am not a bit interested in the campaign. No matter
who comes to power he won’t better our lives,’ said a
student from Vardenis and added laughingly, `I am
ready to vote for a candidate who will rent a flat for
me in the capital. I am even ready `to dance to his
tune.’
26-year-old Vardan urged the Armenian youth to
participate in the electoral processes. `I am
accredited as an observer and I won’t let any local
authority to rig the presidential election like the
parliamentary one,’ he said.
