MARKET RELATIONS REIGN IN ARMENIA
Support A1+!Today Arshak Sadoyan, the leader of the Alliance of National Democrats (AND) and the second candidate on the proportional ticket of the Democratic Way Party (DWP), arrived at the Mirror Club in a new car.
Arshak Sadoyan’s car aroused great interest among the journalists. They wondered whether the car was a gift by the acting authorities or whether Arshak Sadoyan bought it himself.
Arshak Sadoyan gave diplomatic answers to the questions.
The club also hosted NA MP Garnik Isagulyan. The parties debated on the pre-election campaign.
In Sadoyan’s opinion “market relations reign everywhere, namely in election procedures. There is apparent public is polarization.” To testify to his words, Mr Sadoyan referred to the high tariffs of political ads which exceed the tariffs of commercial ads.
To recover the mistake of the television, DWP “does assiduous work” wandering through Armenian regions. Very often people wonder whether Sadoyan participates in the upcoming parliamentary elections. The reason for the public ignorance is the two-minute coverage of the election campaign.
Garnik Isagiulyan emphasized the work of parties’ local structures. “The parties that once opened local structures will face fewer difficulties during the election campaign and they will overcome the 5 per cent threshold easily,” he says.
Later on, Mr Isagulyan started a series of advice which in his opinion will be helpful to the oppositional forces during the election. Mr Isagulyan finds the opposition’s separation a mistake but the acting authorities aren’t guilty of it.
Arshak Sadoyan intends to send a letter to US State Secretary Condoleeza Rice stating that no businessman dares to sponsor the RoA opposition as it could threaten his business.
Mr Isagulyan opposed to Mr Sadoyan in this view saying that Ms Rice can hardly do anything; the opposition must work intensively with the local structures.
On this score Arshak Sadoyan noted that over 100-200 USD is required to rent an area for headquarters.
In Mr Sadoyan’s opinion, DWP will enjoy 10-12% votes in May 12 elections.
