YEREVAN (YERKIR) – "Dashnaktsutyun is launching its campaign
well-prepared to a victory, which will belong to the people and will
be acquired jointly," ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margarian told
thousands of participates of the April 9 rally in Yerevan’s Charles
Aznavour square.
Residents from Armenian regions arrived to Yerevan to cast their
support to the ARF.
"We will not curse anybody, we will not seed hatred, neither will we
threaten or pay election bribes. I am sure that our wise people will
ignore the lie and pressure, and will secure its victory by voting
for the ARF," Hrant Margarian said.
ARF Supreme Body of Armenia representative Armen Rustamian said that
the ARF stands before the people with its work and has nothing to be
shame of, and it is responsible for what it has not completed.
"More seats in the parliament will strengthen the might of the ARF
for many times to solve the problems the country faces. In the May 12
vote we will solve an issue of forming a government because only one
year later, the presidential election will be held, and the parliament
will be decisive for that election. Our gaol is to make citizens feel
secure in his country," Rustamian said.
"Welcome to a new period, which, I am sure, we will open in Armenia’s
history on May 12," ARF Bureau member and deputy parliament speaker

we will trust Dashnaktsutyun as we trust our old friend," he said,
adding that Dashnaktsutyun considers everyone its friend regardless
what party they belong to.
"We are not a party created around one individual," Hrayr Karapetian,
the leader of the ARF faction in parliament said, adding that any
ARF member to be elected to parliament will be carrying out the
party’s program.
