Yerevan, 9 April: The opposition National Unity Party (NUP) is going
to receive 28-38 per cent of votes during the upcoming Armenian
parliamentary election on 12 May, NUP leader Artashes Geghamyan said
in Yerevan today.

"If the election results are falsified, we will urge the people to
protect their votes," he said.

"External forces are hoping for irregularities during the election
to enable them to impose sanctions and exert pressure on Armenia in
relation to a Karabakh settlement. That is why holding a legal and
fair election is the only and last chance for Armenia," Geghamyan said.

The NUP leader today presented his programme on resolving crises. It
is aimed at working out and launching numerous national projects in
the spheres of economy, education, affordable housing and healthcare.
