YEREVAN, MARCH 20, ARMENPRESS: A veteran politician Vazgen Manukian,
head of the National Democratic Union (NDU) party, said today he had
received telephone threats when visiting the southern province of
Syunik on March 17 for meeting with local voters.
Vazgen Manukian earlier said his National Democratic Union will
boycott the May 12 parliamentary elections, but he also said it will
give its support to some other opposition parties and will travel
across the country to campaign for them.
His first trip was to Syunik where he met with voters in Kapan and
Goris and where he was told by phone to get out of the province and
dare not to set his foot on its land until the May 12 polls are over.
Manukian said he had no desire at all to try to identify the man who
made the threatening call and did not report it to police.
