the RA Police refused to give Aram Karapetian, the Chairman of the Nor
Zhamanakner (New Times) party, a certificate on permanently residing
in Armenian in the past 10 years. This was mentioned in the report
provided to Noyan Tapan by the party. At the same time, according to
the party, the press service of the same department informed that
among several politicians, in that respect Aram Karapetian has no
problem of running for the presidential elections.

"This fact once more shows the fear of the authorities acting for
the present, which reaches the degree of obsession, due to which they
have to do any illegal thing," the report mentioned. According to the
report, Aram Karapetian is going to "challenge the illegal conduct of
the RA Police in the court and to introduce all respective documents
to CEC with the inflexibility to be registered as a candidate for
presidency and to take part in the upcoming elections."
