Prosperous Armenia party spokesperson says Armenia is free state with
each person being where he wants to

TERT.AM
17:51 – 18.02.13

Spokesperson for the Prosperous Armenia party Tigran Urikhanyan does
not much believe in the information about Prosperous Armenia party
member Karo Karapetyan posing as Serzh Sargsyan’s proxy in 11/17
polling station in Artashat.

Speaking to Tert.am he said, each person has a right to be in any
place in the territory of Armenia. Urikhanyan said that we are living
in a free state while the reporters are trying to present the
situation in the spirits of 1937.

Azatutyun.am recorded Karapetyan in the 11/17 polling station. Seeing
it, Karapetyan immediately left the territory crying out `stop
recording’.

Although the secretary of the election commission assured the
journalist that Karo Karapetyan was not on the list of proxies,
Chairman of the election commission Ruben Avetisyan told the
journalist that Mr Karapetyan was standing proxy for incumbent
President Serzh Sargsyan.

Before the elections the Prosperous Armenia party released a statement
unveiling its decision not to nominate own candidacy and not support
anyone. As to the statement of the NA chairman who did not exclude
formation of the coalition with the engagement of the PAP, Tigran
Urikhanyan said a special statement has already been released in this
respect and added that the PAP’s agenda does not include such issue.

Important Support For Armenia

HAKOB BADALYAN

Story from Lragir.am News:

On February 12 in his annual State of the Union speech the U.S.
president Obama said that the government of the United States is ready
to negotiate a free trade area with the EU. “Tonight, I’m announcing
that we will launch talks on a comprehensive trans-Atlantic trade and
investment partnership with the European Union,” he said.

On February 13 the president of the European Commission Jose Manuel
Barroso published the joint statement on launching negotiations
between the EU and the United States for the biggest free trade area
in the world.

The United States and the EU come up with an initiative which will
obviously compete with the idea of Eurasian integration offered by the
Russian president Putin. Although the intention of Washington and
Brussels will hardly be grounded by providing an alternative to
Putin’s idea, it will, nevertheless, be an important alternative for
countries which are not excited about Putin’s Eurasian integration and
are looking for ways and arguments to put this issue off.

I also mean Armenia the government of which is trying to sway Moscow
that economically it is not profitable because the rules of the game
are not in line with geography. Besides, integration with the
developed European economy is more attractive. Moscow continues to
demand Yerevan’s loyalty and states that tailored rules may be written
to work out for geographic inconvenience. The concept of exclave was
introduced. However, Yerevan resists seriously therefore Putin has to
appeal to its law enforcement bodies, namely the Federal Security
Service to promote the Eurasian idea.

Earlier the ex-U.S. Secretary Clinton had stated a few weeks ago in
Dublin that the United States will do everything to prevent the
rebirth of the USSR under the name of Eurasian ideas. It was
attributed to the personal opinion of departing Clinton but the United
States did not dismiss this opinion officially and did not try to
soften it somehow.

Could the step of forming a trade area with the EU be one of the ways
of preventing the rebirth of the USSR? Of course, it can. The
initiative of the tandem Washington-Brussels is broader because there
is a need to stop not only the USSR-Eurasian but also Chinese economic
expansion. Besides being an attempt of addressing the economic crisis
the set up of a trade area is also an initiative aimed at imposing new
trade and economic rules on China and thereby controlling China’s
economic growth.

No doubt Putin’s idea of Eurasian integration is one of the targets.
It is to some extent a lifebelt which is thrown to those who reject
the Eurasian loop.

This lifebelt is also valuable because it is not an adequate
counteraction but an alternative to Putin’s force method. An
alternative offer is made to set up the largest free trade area in the
world.

It would be difficult to argue why a state facing a problem of
economic development and seeking for secure future should prefer to
join a union based on Russia which depends heavily on oil and gas
rather than this area.

Russian experts have already expressed their dissatisfaction in the
Russian conspiracy style that Moscow had made a proposal to the EU but
Brussels refused whereas it is already negotiating with Washington.

Everything is clear. This is a big policy based on logic. First, while
Moscow makes economic proposals to the European Union, it also
directly or indirectly blackmails the EU by means of its gas pipes. It
is clear that one cannot form a joint space with the blackmailer.
Besides, what is more logical – set up a venture with a poor man who
borrows money from the bank risking paying the loan or with a rich
man?

Europe chooses the United States as a viable partner which outdoes it
not only by its scope and geopolitical power but also its achievements
and the state of the art.

Hence, the initiative of Washington and Brussels is convenient for
Armenia which has appeared under the Eurasian pressure both in terms
of time and content because Armenia would make a historical and fatal
mistake if it escaped the U.S.-EU negotiation and the prospect of
integration with the biggest free trade area in the world.

registers and the citizens included in the given registers will have
to submit a certificate from the living community,” he said.

cleaned off by means of a wet wipe.

Decision 2013: More problems evident with `vanishing’ ink

VOTE 2013 | 18.02.13 | 13:46

Chairman of the Central Election Commission Tigran Mukuchyan has
stated that as of this hour (around 12 p.m.) there have been no
reports about rapidly oxidizing ink in passport stamps, nonetheless
social networks are full of discussions about it.

The ink on the stamps used to prevent double voting should disappear
in 12 hours, however during the recent parliamentary election it was
disappearing within 1-2 hours after stamping. This allowed the
opposition to claim that people were able to vote more than once. The
election authorities have repeatedly stated that stamping is not the
only safeguard against double voting.

Despite Mukuchyan’s statement, candidate Raffi Hovannisian stated
after casting his vote, that the stamp verifying the voting can be
erased with wet wipes or regular water.

A test of the ink in the ArmeniaNow newsroom proved that the ink
disappears easily when wiped with just a tissue and a small amount of
water.

There are several videos on Youtube showing how the ink comes off when
wiped with wet tissues. However, they only prove that it is possible
to remove the stamp using the described method, and are not an
evidence of actual double voting.

There has been one report on rapidly oxidizing ink without using wet
wipes or water. This was registered by Europe Union of Law NGO
observer at Mrgavan village, Ararat province.

Un candidat qualifie d’ « illégitime » l’élection présidentielle

Arman Melikian, un candidat de l’opposition à la présidentielle, a
qualifié la prochaine élection présidentielle d’« illégitime » et a
dit qu’il ne votera pas le 18 février.

Arman Melikian a déclaré qu’il n’accepterait pas les résultats
officiels de l’élection, même si elles ne donnent pas la victoire au
président Serge Sarkissian. Il a exhorté en même temps les Arméniens à
voter pour lui le jour du scrutin, en disant qu’ils approuveraient
ainsi ses allégations de fraude électorale.

« Je demande instamment aux électeurs de se rendre aux urnes, de
marquer mon nom et de ce fait de ne pas voter pour Arman Melikian,
mais contre les élections truquées, » a-t-il déclaré au service
arménien de RFE / RL (Azatutyun.am).

Arman Melikian, qui n’est pas considéré comme un adversaire de taille
et n’a guère fait campagne pour le scrutin, a accusé les autorités
arméniennes d’avoir planifié l’achat des votes, la collecte de données
de passeport et d’exercer d’autres formes de pression sur les
électeurs pour assurer la réélection de Sarkissian. Il a également
souligné le refus de la Commission électorale centrale de fournir des
informations détaillées sur le nombre important d’électeurs absents
d’Arménie.

L’opposition arménienne affirme que des centaines de milliers de votes
ont été détournés au nom de ces électeurs pour Serge Sarkissian et son
Parti républicain d’Arménie (HHK) lors des dernières élections
nationales. La CCE a rejeté fermement ces allégations.

Arman Melikian, qui a déjà couru pour le poste de président en 2008, a
exprimé l’espoir que d’autres candidats de l’opposition feront des
déclarations similaires avant le vote du 18 février.

Certains d’entre eux ont déjà allégué des préparatifs de fraude durant
la campagne électorale. Raffi Hovannisian, le candidat de l’opposition
apparemment le plus populaire, a menacé de déclarer le vote
illégitime.

Un autre candidat, moins influent, Aram Harutiunian, qui a quitté la
course la semaine dernière, a de même allégué que le vote sera truqué.

Les autorités arméniennes ont à maintes reprises promis de faire de
leur mieux pour tenir l’élection la plus démocratique de l’histoire du
pays.
