MANUK GASPARIAN FINDS
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The propaganda of already started
not only 2007 parliamentary but also 2008 president’s elections will
be held with inadmissible methods. NA Deputy Manuk Gasparian expressed
such a foresight at the December 15 meeting with journalists. In his
words, the politicians’ action way of slandering each other will bring
to the people’s deep dissappointment. Commenting upon the place and
role of the opposition in the inner-political field of Armenia,
M.Gasparian fixed that at present the authorities have a bigger rating
than the opposition forces. "The authorities have never has such
beneficial conditions as today," he mentioned. In the NA Deputy’s
words, such a fall of the rating of the opposing forces is provided by
the fact that the latters are not given TV broadcast, and local
authorities hinder from holding meetings in marzes. On the future
president’s post M.Gasparian wants to see such a figure who "has
remained clean during the whole period of his political biography."
Responding the question "Who do you consider a clean politician?", he
said the following: "Gagik Tsarukian today has the biggest rating in
Armenia, and with this rating, he surpasses even Stepan Demirchian."
In M.Gasparian’s words, the Chairman of the "Bargavach Hayastan" party
"in the case of wish, may gather 50-100 thousand people in the square,
but, naturally, he will not take such a step."
