YEREVAN, APRIL 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "The preelectoral struggle has long
went beyond the political boundaries. I have never seen giving so
much electoral bribe." Stepan Sakarian, Board Secretary of People’s
Party of Armenia (PPA), stated at the April 26 press conference. At
the same time, he positively estimated the course of preelectoral
campaign and the results of agitation.

In connection with possible falsifications in the elections,
S. Zakarian noted that collection of passport data from population
cannot but call forth certain suspicions. He said that today we can
only make suppositions how these passport data will be used.

S. Zakarian said that PPA does not consider the results of elections
as predetermined. In his opinion, the maximum rating of authorities
taking into consideration the administrative resource is 20%. "If
the elections are falsified, PPA will be among the first persons
protesting against this, but this does not mean that we should give
up struggle now," S. Zakarian stated.
