ELECTION AT THE SQUARE OF FREEDOM

Lragir, Armenia
Nov 27 2006

"We don’t want to tempt our potential supporters, in the sense that we
should not have anyone to think that this is a political project which
pursues solving the problem of the mandate of one or two people." On
November 27 Nicol Pashinyan, a member of the Alternative Political
Initiative made this statement on November 27 at the Friday Club,
answering the question regarding the parliamentary election in
2007. Nicol Pashinyan stated that the Alternative is not likely to
run in the parliamentary election in 2007, if the public and political
atmosphere does not change.

"The existing electoral system in the republic offers to the citizens
of Armenia the following choice: whose slave do you want to be, the
Republican Party’s or the Bargavach Hayastan Party’s, in other words,
Serge’s or Gagik’s?" says Nicol Pashinyan, adding that their purpose
is to do everything to check this election out of the agenda.

"In other words, we the citizens of the Republic of Armenia should be
able to reject this election, and state that we do not want to be a
slave, we want to be free citizens. Meanwhile, the election of freedom
should take place in the Freedom Square," stated Nicol Pashinyan.
