“WILL OPPOSITIONISTS UNITE BY FEBRUARY 19?”

Politics

Heghine Bisharian, head of the pre-election headquarters for OYP leader and presidential candidate Arthur Baghdasarian, didn’t rule out that oppositional forces might unite by February 19.

Asked whether they might join before the second round, the OYP Deputy Chairwoman said, “Yes, everything is possible,” she said to A1+.

“I am more than confident that the oppositional forces will sooner or later unite. Personalities don’t matter. The idea of unification is more important.”

The OYP Deputy Chairwoman called on the oppositionists “to cheer up and to struggle to the end.”

Heghine Bisharian promised A1+ to name all people who had been threatened by the authorities.

Bisharian says Arthur Baghadasarian’s campaign is not properly covered by mass media which is already a rough breach of the Electoral Code.

Mrs. Bisharian is content with observers’ work. “They frequently attend our office to get familiarized with problems existing both in the capital and in marzes.”

The OYP Deputy Chairwoman dispelled the rumours that oppositional candidates avoid debates. “Arthur Baghdasarian was the first to urge the candidates to participate in debates. Our candidate is ready to debate with all candidates. Our citizens should finally realise who they are voting for. Therefore, the OYP has chosen the motto “Open your eyes, Armenia!”

“Today Armenia’s civilians are not ready for elections. They are either threatened or bribed. They are unable to resist officials’ pressures. They lack full concentration while participating at elections. Such voting is inadmissible for me.”

Heghine Bisharian says people will come to know a lot of things if they attend their rally due on February 3.
