Aram Manoukyan, member of the Armenian National Movement (ANM), claims
that the party will enjoy 10-20% votes of the electorate despite the
current pressures. He thinks that RA citizens are ill-disposed to
ANM today. ANM will run for the elections with the following motto,
"Open Frontiers, Peace and Integration". "The main objective of ANM
is to restore people’s right to vote", says Mr. Manoukyan.
The Armenian National Movement will not initiate expensive campaign
with posters, video reels and films. They will merely visit people
and rely on their vote of confidence. Aram Manukyan called on the RA
authorities to preserve 15- 20% votes they enjoy as he anticipates
hard times for the authorities; one day the people’s hidden energy
will burst out and public will revolt". Member of the Armenian
National Movement assumes that the RA NA won’t manage to complete
its activity. The geopolitical developments will contribute to it;
Russia’s influence decreases in the region whereas that of the USA
increases. Besides, Georgia is trying to engage into NATO.
Aram Manoukyan also dwelt on the large-scale breaches and frauds
which are already evident in posters, programs and reels.
While speaking of the ideological bases of parties, Mr. Manoukyan
noted that the RA parties lack ideological bases with the exception
of Armenian National Movement, ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Communists.
