"Let’s become the owner of our country, the owner of our
victories." This is a slogan by which presidential candidate Vazgen
Manukyan is guided during the elections. He also pays importance to
another slogan saying "let’s change and not put up with."
Asked if the citizens of Armenia will dare to change and not put up
with, Manukyan said the major issue for Armenia is that people want
change but they do not believe it may be possible through elections. He
said this brings to a situation that after some time even election
fraud will not be needed because people will start participating in
the elections "as a usual event" and even will think ‘why not make
use of it.’
Manukyan said the public is presented to the argument that the
authorities will not allow this or that candidate "to pass."
Speaking about the unification of the opposition, Manukyan said the
danger is not that the opposition takes votes from each other but
that those votes go to the authorities.
