YEREVAN, APRIL 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Representatives of the Zharangutiun
(Heritage) party are pleased with the visits paid to the marzes
of Syunik and Vayots Dzor as the population’s participation was
satisfying. As Press Secretary of the party Hovsep Khurshudian stated
at the April 20 press conference, it is felt that political interests
of voters gradually grow.

He at the same mentioned that they met some obstacles during the
propaganda mission. Particularly, the Areni village head stated in
the marz of Vayots Dzor that they were to beforehand inform him before
holding a propaganda mission in the village. And in V. Khurshudian’s
words, an atmosphere of fear reigned in Kapan: people were even afraid
of taking pre-electoral booklets. In his opinion, the Syunik Governor
created that atmosphere of fear.

V. Khurshudian stated that "Zharangutiun" was not given territories for
foreign political advertisement, by reasoning that all the territories
are already occupied. Whereas, they addressed on behalf of another
organization to the Nushikian Association which is engaged in giving
stands, and got a positive answer. It was also mentioned that there
are many falsities in the lists of voters.
