UNITED COMMUNISTS ARE FOR HOLDING JUST ELECTIONS

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The United Communist Party of
Armenia (UCPA) is for holding just and honest elections. Yuri
Manukian, the Chairman of the party stated about it at the February 2
press conference. He also expressed an opinion that participation of
three parties in one block would be expedient during the coming
elections.

Yu.Manukian stated that observers from the UCPA will be at more than
1400 electoral districts. Based on the reports, the UCPA will make its
conclusions. "If there are provocations, we shall first start
struggle against them. We must think of the outer image of Armenia,"
Yu.Manukian stated.

He mentioned that the UCPA agitation group consisting of 46 people
visited 912 communities of the country and has clear notion about the
people’s expectations and moods. So, in Yu.Manukian’s words, the
majority of the population thinks that 16 years of independence did
not bring to prosperity and did not improve the situation in the
country.

In Yu.Manukian’s words, the UCPA do not create with its activity any
obstacles in the affair of building the Armenian statehood. "The time
showed that we can work without existence of our faction at the
National Assembly as well. We did not hinder and will not hinder
establishment of the Armenian state," he stated.
