THE COMMUNIST IS WAITING FOR TSAROUKYAN’S INVITATION
[03:21 pm] 02 February, 2007
Head of the United Communist party of Armenia Yuri
Manukyan has not received an invitation from the
Republican Party or from `Prosperous Armenia’ to join
them in the proportional lists. `If they make the
offer, I will then decided whether to agree or not’,
he said in `Pastark’ club today. According to Yuri
Manoukyan, it world be better for the three communist
parties of Armenia to participate in the upcoming
parliamentary elections in an alliance. `As a result
of not joining together, in the previous elections we
were deprived of our mandate’.
Nevertheless, the communist claims that it is all the
same for them whether they will form part of the
Parliament or not. `What is important is the
organization of fair elections’. In order to support
the organization of fair elections Yuri Manukyan has
decided to have observers in all the polling stations.
As for the failure in the previous elections,
according to Yuri Manukyan, it was due to lack of work
with people, not to ideological defeat. In order not
to repeat that mistake, the United Communist party has
visited over 900 communities and has finally
understood the psychology of the people. «The 17 years
of independence have not contributed to the
improvement of the social level in rural areas. These
17 years failed to prove that independence will result
in stable economy», Yuri Manukyan thinks.
