GENTLEMAN'S WORD
Support A1+!Hayrapet Hayrapetyan, member of the PAP, failed to initiate memorandum signing to exclude election frauds in constituency 4 of Arabkir community.
To note, out of 7 candidates of the community only four were present during today's press conference; Hayrapet Hayrapetyan /Prosperous Armenia Party/, Zohrab Zohrabyan /Republican Party/, Hrayr Karapetyan /ARF Dashnaktsutyun/ and Aram Manukyan /All-Armenian Movement/.
Under the given memorandum, the candidates promise to avoid “Black PR and appliance of dirty electoral methods.
The struggle is believed to be namely tense in electoral district 4. But now we assure you that you will counter the opposite scene there, » Hayrapet Hayrapetyan says.
In answer to our question whether the memorandum guarantees that there won't be election flaws, Mr. Zohrabyan said, «I don't like to wear ties. I am often asked why I don't wear ties during the meetings but I say «What is the difference; one shouldn't cheat people, this is the most important thing. A gentleman's word has more weight than bribe giving».
Aram Manukyan didn't conceal his mistrust towards the promises of the pro-governmental forces. «I am not delighted by this procedure. I don't think it will work. I don't believe that the elections will be free and fair as the livers of the authorities are 1000 times more to hold «fair elections». If the authorities turn to the opposition to organise free and transparent elections it already implies that we shall appear in an abnormal state on the eve of the elections», Mr. Manukyan says.
