YEREVAN. - No one has the right to get votes through threats, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun parliament group head Vahan Hovhannisyan said on
Wednesday during the rally in the Liberty Square.
"Look at whom they [those bribing voters] approach. At first, it was
you, now they visit the poor, the retired and people who receive social
benefits. They do not approach you any more as they have realized that
it is not possible to get your vote. We should prove that your vote is
worth something," Hovhannisyan said adding the situation is not good in
regions as well. "They visit homes and threaten if people will not vote
for them they will cut their social benefits. No one has the right to
do that. And even if someone dares to, the ARFD will cut their ears."
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun is one of
the oldest Armenian political parties. It was founded in the end of
19th century.
Following the Sovietization of Armenia in 1920, the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun
was banned by the Communists and its leadership exiled. The
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun officially re-emerged in Armenia after the collapse
of the USSR, in 1990.
In June 2003, the party signed a coalition memorandum with the
Republican Party of Armenia and Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law). However,
in 2009 ARFD left the coalition in protest against signing the
protocols with Turkey.
Party's proportional list includes 85 candidates. Eight candidates
will run for an MP seat with majority system. The party's motto is
'Freedom, Justice, Dashnaktsutyun.'
