YEREVAN, DECEMBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN. The forthcoming presidential
elections will be held by two tours. Vazgen Manukian, the Chairman of
the National Democratic Union party, a candidate for presidency, made
such a prediction at the December 27 press conference. According to
him, though the authorities strive for solving the problem of their
reproduction at the very first tour, neverthelss each of opposition
candidates will take away some votes from a pro-governmental candidate
by securing holding of the second tour.
V. Manukian said that his striving for making changes in the country
coincides with the wish of the most part of society, on which his
confidence of winning is based. According to him, his political future
will be "cruel" after the elections. According to V. Manukian, striving
for power, many people do not imagine the burden of responsibility
falling on them as a result of it. He said that he has been in power
twice and remembers those years with horror up to present. "That is the
life I will not wish even to my enemy, but I wish it to myself," he
stated.
V. Manukian refuted the apprehension that an opposition President will
have a problem of working with the parliamentary majority. "The
majority is changeable: the personalities remain the same, but their
positions change very quickly," he said. Besides, according to V.
Manukian, a President elected by the people applying to the people will
have a possibility to exert pressure on the government and parliament.
"I do not expect holding of free, fair, clean elections, but I am
convinced that if the people is consolidated around serious ideas, the
electoral violations will not give the result they gave in the past,"
V. Manukian said. He expressed readiness to raise the people to fight
in case of obvious violations in the elections. At the same time, he
said that rally technologies should not be abused, as in most cases
rallies create a false impression about the real rating or possibilites
of their organizers.
