“OYP HAS NOTHING AGAINST TER-PETROSSIAN”

Politics

“The opposition will unite and go outside if the presidential elections of Armenia resemble those of Georgia, i.e. they are accompanied with water cannons and vote tampering,” secretary of the Orinats Yerkir faction Heghine Bisharian said today.

Only through alliance they will be able to fight frauds.

If people are under the impression that the next president will be known after the first round it means elections will be faked the government’s candidate Serzh Sarkissian’s rating is not that high to get 700-800 thousand votes at once.

Heghine Bisharian says that the candidates are not given equal footing. “Arthur Baghdasarian has made six speeches on TV since the parliamentary elections while Serzh Sarkissian has enjoyed boundless airtime.”

In reply to A1+'s question which candidate Arthur Baghdasarian will back if Serzh Sarkissian and Levon Ter-Petrossian contend at the second round, Bisharian said, “The OYP will surely second the oppositional candidate.”

The OYP secretary says the party is ready for any scenario, including black PR against them as the Orinats Yerkir Party has such a "bitter experience." In answer to rumors that the Orinats Yerkir is likely to hold rallies to oppose to Levon Ter-Petrossian, Heghine Bisharian says this is clear provocation. “We have nothing against Levon Ter-Petrossian."

The OYP has already set up pre-election headquarters in marzes. The general headquarters is ready to cooperate with oppositional headquarters to combat election fakes.

During today's press conference Mrs. Bisharian referred to the dollar-dram relations as well. She says that people have greatly suffered because of currency frustrations.

Mrs. Bisharian says that dollar devaluation is mostly determined by the upcoming elections. “They want to get back the money distributed during the parliamentary elections.”

She states that the things will still worsen after the presidential elections. Heghine Bisharian urged people to sober up and refuse election bribes not to repent later on.
