Aram Karapetyan, leader of the "New Times" Party, is going to run
for the parliament by majority system. So far he hasn't decided in
which constituency of Yerevan he will be nominated.
During the 2003 elections Aram Karapetyan was nominated in the
constituency 17 of Erebouny where his rivals were Tigran Karapetyan
and Armen Danielyan, member of Republican Party. But then Aram
Karapetyan couldn't participate in the election contest because of
"his registration".
The leader of "New Times" is convinced that he won't counter suchlike
problems this time; the police head of Moscow wrote a letter to the
RA passport and visa department informing that Aram Karapetyan isn't
a RF citizen, and he lived in Moscow as a temporary citizen. Aram
Karapetyan anticipates other problems, even pressure. In his words,
a political figure must combat till the end, regardless of the fact
"his rival is an oligarch, a vandal or someone else" as "the form of
legal power derives from elections".
"In my opinion the authorities always face problems as they fully
realize that election frauds and fabrications are inadmissible
for the international community" says Mr. Karapetyan and adds, "My
contacts show that the international community seeks to see fair and
transparent elections".
Aram Karapetyan doesn't believe that we can have free and fair
elections without public pressure. "But the ruling elite is well aware
of the fact that unfair elections will put the issue of legitimacy
into peril".
Aram Karapetyan informed A1+ that RA Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan
will leave for the USA to hold serious talks on the elections.
Proportional list of the "New Times" is already ready.
It involves 130 people. "We tend to have a common list with the
opposition", says Mr. Karapetyan. The leaders of the opposition will
consider the matter in the nearest future.
