Speaking to a press conference today, leader of the People’s Party
of Armenia, presidential contender Tigran Karapetyan stated he is
confident of his victory in the presidential elections on February 19.

Tigran Karapetian stated that "his electorate is the conservative part
of the society, adherent to the principles of justice." According to
him, he "is the only one, who represents the interests of this part
of the population, and there are many defenders of the interests of
the displeased electorate."

Tigran Karapetyan noted that he is not going to offend any of the
presidential contenders and considers them worthy rivals. In case
of being elected, the leader of the People’s Party promised to start
real struggle against corruption.

According to the candidate, "if the presidential elections in Armenia
proceed according to the Georgian scenario, we will have to go to the
streets." Tigran Karapetyan expressed the opinion that the authorities
will try to hold maximally transparent elections and refrain from
gross falsifications. "However, in the regions of the country, there
will be "well-wishers,’ ready to secure 80% of electors’ votes for
the candidate from the ruling party."
