Peaceful change of power will be possible in spring - Aram Manukyan (video)
The Armenian National Congress (HAK) is an alternative to the current authorities, Secretary of the HAK faction, Aram Manukyan, said on September 20. He says the power in Armenia has weakened otherwise the 4+4+4 format talks over the electoral code would not take place. Mr. Manukyan says HAK candidates will participate in local elections in Gyumi “Installation of TV cameras gives hope that the elections ‘will be close to the normal.’ There will be electoral fraud, but it will decrease by approximately 600 000 votes, "he said. Speaking about the reduction of their electorate, the HAK representative said many of their supporters have left the country because of unemployment: 99% are unemployed. Aram Manukyan says their primary aim remains the same; they want to annul the so-called rating ballots proposed in the draft electoral code. “After it, I do not exclude peaceful change of power in spring. We need to collect and concentrate all accumulated energy and make peaceful change of power, which could become irreversible, "he said.
