Presidential contender, member of the Bureau of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
Party Vahan Hovhannissyan will participate in the upcoming presidential
elections of February 19 of 2008 with the motto "Your old friend."
Mr. Hovhannisyan told a news conference today that he "commits
himself to securing the realization of social reforms in conditions
of political stability." Vahan Hovhannissian stated that he is going
to present to his allies an agreement on cooperation.
According to him, "their number in the country may reach 400 thousands,
and each of them will receive a cooperation card." The presidential
candidate reminded that 200 thousand citizens of Armenia participated
in the primary, organized by Dashnaktsutyun.
Vahan Hovhannissyan expressed confidence that the results of the
presidential elections are not predetermined. "Public opinion polls in
Armenia may not present the real moods of the electorate, since many
respondents do not reveal their real preferences," Mr. Hovhannissyan
stated.
"The results of the polls, held upon the order of our party for
administrative use, show that I have great chances to occupy the second
place in the first round of elections and proceed to the second round,"
he noted, not mentioning the name of his main rival.
