YEREVAN, APRIL 23, NOYAN TAPAN. In spite of the "unpleasant incidents"
that happened lately, the agitation campaign of Bargavach Hayastan
(Prosperous Armenia) Party proceeds calmly and normally. Artur
Tamazian, member of Bargavach Hayastan’s Political Board, stated at
the April 23 press conference. He said that though black technologies
have been used and continue to be used against the Party, in general
they are content with the process of electoral campaign. Answering
NT correspondent’s question, what the Party opposes to those black
technologies, A. Tamazian said that mostly they do not respond them in
any way, "as the goal of authors of anti-agitation is their thinking
about finding ways of protecting themselves from this."

In response to a journalist’s observation "that another parties taking
part in the elections accuse Bargavach Hayastan of giving electoral
bribe," Aram Safarian, Party’s Spokesperson, said that both Party
leader Gagik Tsarukian and another members have repeatedly stated that
"Bargavach Hayastan will not give electoral bribe." In his words,
"this has nothing in common with the charity the Gagik Tsarukian Fund
and the Tsarukians family have been implementing for several years."

Bargavach Hayastan member Baghdasar Mherian added that the possibility
of Bargavach Hayastan’s cooperation with another political forces
will be discussed only after learning the results of elections.
