"I do not exclude that there will be fraud during the presidential
elections but I believe this will be the last time," Artashes
Geghamyan, leader of National Unity Party (NAP), told a news conference
today, saying the people cannot tolerate fraud any more and will not
allow that the tradition continues.

Asked what is his answer to the question that he did not support either
Karen Demirchyan and Stepan Demirchyan, both from the opposition,
during 1998 and 2003 elections, NAP leader said that he did not support
Karen Demirchyan in 1998 because in 1996 Demirchyan publicly supported
Levon Ter-Petrosyan and he had no moral right to support a person who
4 months ago was in the camp of his opponent. Moreover, Geghamyan said
"Robert Kocharyan evokes hope" in terms of implementing programs.

Again going back to the topic of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Geghamyan said:
"It will be a great evil and tragedy if former authorities come to
power. They have taken the way of blackmail but I have patience like
a sea and I have torn cats as many as they have caught mice."
