  • LTP staff head: surveys `cast a shadow on the reputation of Gallup'

    Head of Ter-Petrosian's pre-election staff accuses the Armenian media
    and believes that the result of the surveys `cast a shadow on the
    reputation of Gallup'

    February 1, 2008

    Yerevan /Mediamax/. Head of the pre-election staff of the presidential
    candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian Aleksandr Arzumanian stated in Yerevan
    today that `Levon Ter-Petrosian is worth of 1890 Serzh Sarkisians'.

    Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today,
    Aleksandr Arzumanian expressed confidence that their candidate will win
    in the very first round of the presidential elections.

    According to him, `the whole state apparatus, the press and the
    electronic media, as well as the General Prosecutor's Office of Armenia
    serve to the process of regeneration of the ruling regime'.

    Commenting on the refusal of Levon Ter-Petrosian to participate in a
    TV-interview, Aleksandr Arzumanian stated that `all the TV-channels of
    the country are controlled by a single center and fulfill an order ` to
    drive our candidate out of his wits and to transfer the controversy
    into another dimension'.

    The Head of the pre-election headquarter of Ter-Petrosian allowed
    himself today tactless statements against journalists, present at the
    news conference, and the TV-channels, which allegedly `obey 2-3 owners
    and ask questions concocted beforehand and print distorted materials'.

    Aleksandr Arzumanian informed that `we have collected many facts on
    violation of the Electoral Code of Armenia by the candidate from the
    ruling party, which will be presented to the international observation
    missions in the nearest future'.

    Commenting on the results of the latest sociological poll of Gallup,
    according to which Levon Ter-Petrosian may claim to gain only 5% of the
    electors' votes, Aleksandr Arzumanian stated that `in such totalitarian
    countries as Armenia the activity of sociological institutions is quite
    doubtful and casts a shadow on the reputation of such authority
    organizations, as Gallup'.
