SOMETIMES BRIBE IS NO BRIBE?
Support A1+!Will the opposition have majority candidates in all the electoral areas during the 2007 Parliamentary elections? According to deputy Stepan Zaqaryan, this is an idea which must be discussed taking into account the experience of the previous elections.
«We must discuss if a famous politician, for example Vazgen Manoukyan, should be nominated in an electoral area where people have been bribed during the last four years. Although, if they give people money for several years in a row, maybe it is no more bribe; maybe people prefer not an experienced politician but those candidates who solve their everyday problems», Mr. Zaqaryan said half jokingly.
During the NA briefings the journalists tried to find out the opinion of deputy Mekhak Mkhitaryan about the possible initiatives of the opposition. He considered this “a truly progressive step” saying that putting forward candidacies by the majority system the opposition will be able to check its reputation in the society.
