ArmInfo. The election campaign of Armenia’s presidential contender,
the "National Unity" party leader Artashes Geghamyan consists of
83 points, deputy Chairman of the "National Unity" party, Head
of A. Geghamyan’s campaign headquarters Alexan Karapetyan said at
today’s press-conference in "Mirror" club. He said that 53 campaign
headquarters of A. Geghamyan have already been formed and function,
41 of them function in the regions and 12 in Yerevan. A. Karapetyan
added that during preparation of their leader’s election programme,
representatives of A. Geghamyan’s campaign headquarters thoroughly
studied the experience of similar campaigns in the USA, Europe and
Russia. Artashes Geghamyan somewhat changed the election tactics as
compared with the presidential campaign, 2003. If great funds were
spent that time to manufacture and place election agitation posters,
now, the main emphasis will be put on the meetings with the population
in closed apartments taking into account the frosty weather.

Asked whom Artashes Geghamyan will call to support in the second round,
if it takes place and A. Geghamyan does not pass, A. Karapetyan replied
that all depends on a candidate who passes to the 2nd round. "We
believe that A. Geghamyan’s chances are very high and we have not
yet considered this issue", A. Karapetyan said.
