YEREVAN, APRIL 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The ceremony of giving new computers
to the RA Police Arabkir Department took place on April 13. Those were
given to the RA Government and Police Passport and Visa Department
(PVD) within the framework of U.S. Government Assistance, with the
help of the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES)
office. In general, 45 computers will be given to PVD main and
territorial offices within the framework of the assistance, to
implement works of refreshment and management of the voters’ register.

RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsian who was present at the ceremony
attached importance to allocation of that assistance: "I consider
that technical securing of the elections together with a good law,
political will has an important place." He stated that a long series
of similar events is envisaged what will give possibility to improve
the technical basis of the elections.

S. Sargsian did not consider strange that he does not actively
participate yet in the pre-electoral campaign as the RPA Chairman. He
mentioned that "in the classical sense he will not have active
participation in the propaganda mission," during the coming one
month he will utmost get acquainted with problems of the republic
and citizens: "During this month I must change the Defence Minister’s
glasses with the Prime Minister’s glasses," he said.

Responding the question "What will be the strategy of the party headed
by him?" S. Sargsian said that the RPA has headed the government
for 7 years and must have one strategy: make report on what it has
done and present its viewpoints concerning solution of the existing
problems. Responding the question "Who do you see on the Defence
Minister’s post?" the RA Prime Minister answered: "You all will know
on April 24."
