    DPA LEADER CONVINCED THAT RIGGING WILL BE COMMITTED AGAIN DURING 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Unlike international observers, the
    Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA) gave a negative assessment of the
    parliamentary elections held in Armenia on May 12, 2007. The chairman
    of the DPA Aram Sargsian said during a talk with NT correspondent that
    electors failed to express their opinions and positions on May 12:
    their votes were greatly affected by the "technologies" used by the
    authorities such as the use of administrative resource and creation
    of an atmosphere of fear, especially in rural areas. "The factor of
    money also played a great role: people were just bought. That is why
    we take the view that those elections had a negative impact on the
    situation in the country," A. Sargsian stated.

    By his forecast, the above mentioned technologies will be widely used
    at the presidential elections this year. According to A. Sargsian,
    for this reason one should not believe implicitly the results
    of sociological susveys. In his words, the decisive factor in the
    elections will be how the undecided electorate will vote. A. Sargsian
    said that such electors will vote under the impact of the indicated
    technologies: bribes, administrative resource, etc.
