Politics

“The People’s Party of Armenia has been one of the most active parties during the election campaign. We have visited villages which are in utter misery. No other official has attended these villages during the campaign. In some places we were welcomed as warmly as in 2003. This election is important because the role of the National Assembly has significantly increased. People expect a change from the election and they must do their utmost to justify their expectations,” Stepan Demirchyan, the leader of the People’s Party of Armenia (PPA).

According to the PPA Leader there were irregularities and pressure on people throughout the whole campaign. “In case the elections are faked, the People’s Party of Armenia will be in the first ranks.”

The leader of the People’s Party of Armenia thinks it early to consider the possibility to abdicate mandates in case of vote tampering. Similarly, he thinks it is early to consider his nomination for the presidential election 2008, he will think about it after the parliamentary election. Generally, the PPA's further actions will get clear after the May 12 election. Most PPA members of the divisional commissions and proxies will be unbiased and struggle to the end, although Stepan Demirchyan did not rule out separate cases of “selling out”. Reminder, the party finishes the campaign with a rally on May 10 in front of the Matenadaran.
