YEREVAN.- Armenian presidential candidate Arman Melikyan will not
agree to admit election results even if he wins, he told reporters on
Friday.

Earlier Melikyan repeatedly said he considers there will be election
fraud since the votes of citizens absent from Armenia and those having
dual citizenship are likely to be used.

Melikyan said he would not participate in the vote himself, at the
same time urging others to vote for `Arman Melikyan, not for a
candidate but as a sign of protest against the current situation.’

`Upcoming vote cannot be called election. It is a method for the
pro-government candidate to preserve his post,’ Melikyan noted.
