Today, Tigran Karapetyan, the President of ALM Holding and the
Leader of the People’s Party, gave his assessment on the election
campaign. "Our electorate exceeds our expectations," says the PP
Leader.
During the meetings with rural residents Tigran Karapetyan urged to
vote "out of heart remorse and conscience."
In reply to A1+’s question whether the People’s Party would ally with
the Impeachment, New Times and Hanrapetutyun (Republic) Parties,
in case they are not elected, Mr Karapetyan said, "The alliance
is excluded as our ideology is based on a Christian Democratic
platform. We are against violence.
He condemns political figures’ stance and calls them office-politicians
who want to come to power without any endeavor.
The PP Leader doesn’t exclude election frauds and tampering but not
large-scale. Parties are mainly financed from oversea forces. "Only
a jackass like me spends 7 million within 6 years." Nevertheless,
Tigran Karapetyan promised to spend money, take people to Lake Sevan
and visit villages after the elections as well.
