LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT UNION DEMANDS DISMISSAL OF CANDIDATE OF
AUTHORITIES FROM POST OF PRIME MINISTER
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN. For the purpose of providing equal
conditions for all the candidates running for presidency the Legitimate
President Union considers as necessary the dismissal of Serge Sargsian
from the post of the Prime Minister or the stopping of his activities
on that post. The Union calls to all the organizations interested in
the legality of the elections for taking measures to solve that problem.
As Ruben Torosian mentioned at the December 27 meeting, the Prime
Minister, striving for gaining an advantage over his rivals, abuses his
position by applying "a state terrorism." According to him, TV
companies are constantly conducting propaganda in his favour under the
pretence of covering the activities of the Prime Minister. That mode of
action, in the estimation of Ruben Torosian, is a terrorism, as by
creating an illusion of an inevitable victory of the candidate of the
authorities, it incites people to vote for him.
In the words of Ruben Torosian, all those state bodies, which are to
follow the legality of the elections, are the first to make violations.
In his words, the state terrorism is being conducted through all the
four branches of the authorities: the parliament adopts laws serving to
the campaign of the candidate of the ruling party, the executive body
makes use of all the administrative levers, the judicial bodies settle
a score with the rivals of the candidate of the authorities and the
forces supporting them, and the electronic mass media, which are under
the influence of the Prime Minister, the Public Television first of
all, subjects electors to a psychological attack.
