ArmInfo. Thousands of citizens of Armenia began to receive letters from
the State of California, USA, which calls to vote for the first
Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan in the coming presidential
election. One of the letters reached ArmInfo News Agency.
The sender of the letter is a certain A. Saydaryan from Santa Clarita,
State of California, who states he is a citizen of Armenia. Addressing
to his recipient, who assures he never knew A. Saydaryan, the latter
characterizes the present authorities of Armenia as "Mongol-Tatarian
caddish regime". The characterization is followed by personal insults
against Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and Armenian Prime
Minister, Leader of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Serzh
Sargsyan, who is running for president. "Dear fellow citizens, the
Armenians of the USA sympathized Karen Demirchyan at the previous
election, and after his death they sympathized his son Stepan
Demirchyan. Now Demirchyan Jr. is standing beside our first president
Levon Ter-Petrosyan and we vote for him", the letter says. As ArmInfo
correspondent was told by reliable sources, letters with similar
content were also sent to many other residents of Armenia. Commenting
upon this fact, Mkrtich Minasyan, a member of the RPA faction, found
nothing illegal in such kind of campaign method. "Nobody can forbid
sending these letters, but one may perceive them as a foreign state’s
attempt to influence the election in Armenia", Minasyan stressed.
