National Democrates Alliance Special Units to Observe 2007 elections

NATIONAL DEMOCRATES’ ALLIANCE TO FORM SPECIAL GROUPS OF CONFIDANTS AND
OBSERVERS TO CONTROL 2007 ELECTIONS

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The National Democrates’ Alliance
plans to form special groups of confidents and observers to control
the parliamentary elections to take place in 2007. Arshak Sadoyan, the
National Democrates’ Alliance Chairman stated about it at the December
28 meeting with journalists.

In A.Sadoyan’s words, if 4-5 such people are involved in all the 2000
electoral districts of the RA, then control of the elections will
proceed in its normal way. A.Sadoyan said that the international
community will not tolerate falsification of the coming
elections. "This was stated many times both by European Union, and by
U.S. and numerous other international organizations," A.Sadoyan
mentioned. The NDA Chairman said that only a part of the 236 mln
dollars grant being given to Armenia within the "Millennium Challenge"
program was still allocated. And if the other part will be given or
not, in Sadoyan’s words, it depends on results of the coming
elections. As for the NDA participation in the 2007 parliamentary
elections, A.Sadoyan said that if an opposition alliance "with joint
activity" is not created, the NDA will alone take part in the
elections.
