    RAT RUN CONTINUES - NOW FROM DASHNAKTSUTIUN

    Michael Vardanyan, member of the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation (Dashnakcutiun) and son of
    Hrant Vardanyan, chairman of Grand Holding, has
    changed the decision to run on proportional list of
    Dashnakcutiun for the elections. He shifted to the
    majority list from Armenian Republican Party (HHK).

    Earlier reports in the press say Vardanyan is going to
    combat elections at community center 40 (Noyemeberyan
    region). Our attempts to interview him gave no result.
    At Vardanyan's assignment, Panorama.am interviewed
    Vahram Brutyan, advertisement department head of Grand
    Tobacco. "This issue is under consideration now.
    Community center 40 is under question. The media must
    have heard somewhere about it and provides the
    information as fact," Brutyan said. Asked why
    Vardanyan decided to nominate himself on majority list
    and not proportional list of Dashnakcutiun, Brutyan
    said, "You will see that cooperation with
    Dashnakcutiun will continue. Many representatives of
    Grand Holding will be included in the proportional
    list of Dashnakcutiun. This is not a final decision.
    However, Vardanyan will run only on majority list,"
    Brutyan said.

    Our sources say that in fall Defense Minister Serzh
    Sargsyan was accompanied by Michael Vardanyan to
    Noyemeberyan and urged 40 community heads to elect son
    Vardanyan on majority list promising that Vardanyan
    family will make investment in the region.

    In fact, Serzh Sargsyan sponsors the entry of Michael
    Vardanyan into the new parliament and it is not a
    surprise that he will appear in HHK list. "Naturally,
    Noyemeberyan is a borderline area and is important for
    the defense minister," Brutyan said.
