TO ELECTORAL RIGGINGS
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. In the current political sitiation
in Armenia, the opposition force not to go to elections is
criminal. Aram Manukian, member of the Armenian All-National Movement
(AAM) Board, made this statement at the February 1 press
conference. In his opinion, riggings are inevitable at the upcoming
elections bit this time another response will be given to
falsification.
In his words, the political force not to make use of discontent of 90%
of the population with the authorities is "stupid". A. Manukian noted
that there was also considerable discontent during the 2003 elections
but no organizing force emerged to direct a shift of power. According
to him, "today there is a desire to correct the mistake of the past."
At the same time he said that not so much votes received as the will
and courage to protect these votes and rule out riggings will be
decisive factors at the upcoming elections.
In response to the question about whether the AAM will participate in
the possible "colored" revolution, A. Manukian noted that the party is
against any bloodshed, but if the matter concerns forcing the
authorities to resign by means of holding demonstrations, the AAM
supports this.
