PPA TO CARRY OUT COMING ELECTORAL STRUGGLE FOR SAKE OF ARMENIA’S
FUTURE, STEPAN ZAKARIAN STATES

YEREVAN, MARCH 23, NOYAN TAPAN. The People’s Party of Armenia (PPA)
will carry out the coming electoral struggle not only against negative
phenomena, but also for the sake of Armenia’s future and people.

Stepan Zakarian, member of RA National Assembly Ardarutiun (Justice)
faction and PPA Board, stated this at the March 23 press conference.

In his words, PPA in principle is not against struggling jointly
against possible electoral falsifications. But the united body to be
created by the opposition should have exact functions. In S.
Zakarian’s opinion, in this respect the first and foremost is
cooperation of representatives of opposition, as well as empowered
persons in electoral commissions. It was mentioned that during the
preelectoral agitation PPA is going to use its own financial resources
"at most purposefully." PPA also does not exclude the possibility of
using paid right of speaking on TV. S. Zakarian did not agree to
accusations addressed to PPA in the issue of opposition’s failure to
unite. In his words, "everybody knows that since 1998 PPA has been
opposition’s driving force."
