Yerevan /Mediamax/. "Dashnaktsutiun" party, which nominated Vahan
Hovhannissian as a candidate for the position of the Armenian
President, claims to take up the role of one of the poles of the
upcoming electoral campaign.

Mediamax reports that the Spokesman of the Supreme Body of
"Dashnaktsutiun" Spartak Seyranian said this in Yerevan today. He
noted that there is a transition from bipolarity to multi-polarity of
the spectrum of political forces registered in the pre-election race,
which is picking up speed.

Spartak Seyranian stated that the poles of the present campaign have
ideological, rather than personal basis. At that he expressed concern
in connection with the negative influence of the "elements of spite,
which is pregnant with split in the society".

The ideological basis of the pre-election campaign of Vahan
Hovhannissian will not be fundamentally different from the platform,
from which "Dashnaktsutiun" entered the parliamentary elections of
2007, the Spokesman stated.

Spartak Seyranian stated that "Dashnaktsutiun" may transform into
opposition only in case the results of the presidential elections of
February 19 of 2008 are falsified.
