YEREVAN, MARCH 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Manuk Gasparian, Arshak Sadoyan and
Aghasi Arshakian taking first three places in the joint electoral
roll of Democratic Way and Union of National Democrats parties, are
political figures accepted by the people who "are neither bribed nor
sell themselves." RA MP Manuk Gasparian, Chairman of Democratic Way
Party, stated this at the March 20 press conference. In his words,
"no party’s proportional list has such mighty, politicized three,
except the Republican Party of Armenia."

In M. Gasparian’s words, sociologists Aharon Adibekian and Gevorg
Poghosian deliberately publicize data "disorienting the people,"
which is the evidence that they "have sold themselves." The leader
of the Democratic Way Party advised them to leave sociology in case
of receiving 8% votes of electors of Democratic Way at the May 12
elections.

As M. Gasparian forecast, the Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law),
National Unity opposition parties without fail will overcome 5%
barrier at the forthcoming parliamentary elections. And ARFD, which
will have no problem, either with overcoming 5% barrier, in his words,
"will become a serious opposition from the hour of elections’ end."

As M. Gasparian forecast, RPA will receive 20% thanks to use of
administrative resource and as regards the Bargavach Hayastan
(Prosperous Armenia) Party, here the people will act in accordance
with its own convictions. It was mentioned that the potato given
out by Gagik Tsarukian charity organization will play no role in the
electoral process, as "the people awoke thanks to Bargavach Hayastan."

As M. Gasparian affirmed, falsifications will be committed this time
also, as in the recent 13-14 years some people have obtained "drug
addict’s" addiction in the process of falsifying elections.
