YEREVAN, MARCH 21, NOYAN TAPAN. The opposition of Armenia must
go at the propaganda stage to a meeting with the people with a
joint group. Aram Sargsian, the Chairman of the Democratic Party
of Armenia (DPA) expressed such an opinion at the March 21 press
conference. In his words, owing to joint visits of the opposition
forces to the marzes of the republic, the people will see that they
will seriously struggle for fair elections. In A. Sargsian’s words,
the people will also understand that though the opposition parties
did not form ideological alliances, however, they are united in the
affair of control of the elections.

The Democratic Party leader mentioned that the "Orinats Yerkir"
(Country of Law) and "Zhorghovrdakan Ughi" (Democratic Path) parties
agreed with the party proposal to found a joint office for control
of elections. A. Sargsian reminded that the "Azgayin Miabanutiun"
(National Unity) party also made such a proposal few days ago.

Touching upon the calls on fair elections made by representatives of
the Republican Party of Armenia and "Bargavach Hayastan" (Prosperous
Armenia) party, A. Sargsian mentioned that he does not imagine how
those forces, started the propaganda mission ahead of the official
schedule and with serious violations (giving of electoral bribe,
gathering of passports), prepare to struggle for justice. In his
words, he will understand the RPA and "Bargavach Hayastan" parties’
readiness to respond the opposition forces’ call to found a joint
control office as an attempt to ruin the affair.
