YEREVAN, MAY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The "Alliance of National Democrates"
party (AND) envisages to found soon a political club with the
opportunity for experienced political figures to hold discussions
and exchange experience in informal conditions. The party chairman
Arshak Sadoyan, who has lost in the parliamentary elections for the
first time since 1990, said this during an interview to NT.

Assessing the results of the parliamentary elections, A. Sadoyan
expressed confidence that "like all other national elections,
these parliamentary elections were also rigged with the same
handwriting." According to him, the only comforting fact in this
process has been that "Heritage" party has some opportunity to be
represented at the parliament.

"My goal to use the parliamentary rostrum for speaking aloud about
illegalities in the country and for ensuring a healthy change of
generations in politics has not been fulfilled," A. Sadoyan noted,
considering as deplorable the fact that "komsomiol-type hawks or
mercenary young people forming 5th column" will enter politics.

Speaking about the 2008 presidential elections, he pointed out the
preparation of groups to control 1,930 polling stations as the number
1 task. He assured that their party will do its best to form a healthy
moral and psychological atmosphere among voters. "If good candidtes
are nominated, I’ll support them. Otherwise, I’ll be nominated,
but I think there will be no need to take this step," A. Sadoyan added.
