Aghasy Arshakyan, the head of pre-electoral headquarter of “Democratic way” Party was very angry during his conversation with us yesterday.
“We learned after these elections that Kocharyan and his regime achieved their goal: they demoralized our people so much that people sold their consciousness, their votes», – DWP member said. We asked Mr. Arshakyan whether accusing people has become fashionable after the election on May 12. While nobody accuses the opposition as it also has its fault: people didn’t trust in them , that\’s why they acted in that way and earned several thousands Drams. «I agree,- Aghasy Arshakyan said,- but Manuk Gasparyan was the only politician who managed to unify the part of opposition».We interupted him reminding tat the DWP members were also calling to take bribes but vote honestly. Now, why do you complain? »We haven\’t told in that way. Both Manuk Gasparyan and I have told, don\’t take bribes, but if you want to take it, take and vote for whom you want. But it became clear that people who haven\’t given or taken bribes say in that way. Now I understand that taking bribes and not keeping promise is psychologically impossible. We also learned with the help of Robert Kocharyan\’s regime that there are very liars and betrayers among our friends.
We cited Vazgen Manukyan\’s words «They say the cars are distributing bribes. Where is the opposition, let them go and break that car and sentence the distributors to responsibility». In answer to this, A ghasy Arshakyan said: «I learned about it on May 15, and didn\’t have any time to follow his advice. Several my neighbors betrayed me. And I told, you busta rd s, I got 62 votes in my district, besides the votes of 6 six members of my family and the votes of my close neighbors, more than 2 dozens of times I have given you medical and juridicl support. But you prefered to sell your soul by 5 thousands AMD.»
The rest of DWP members accuse the party of getting 8468 votes. For example, Eduard Aghajanov, the 4th in the party list, declared in the press conference that the party didn\’t have necessary resources and worked bad in the pre-electoral period. As for Arshak Sadoyan, who was the second in the list, he was dissatisfied with the presence of few empowered persons in the polling stations: «The DWP didn\’t even manage to have 15 headquarters». Mr. Arshakyan got angry at that accusation: “Aghajanov took part in very few meetings; he did nothing while I visited about 187 residences, drove 7200 km and had 253 meetings for Edik Aghajanov t become a parliamentarian. He hasn\’t worked as he is a lazy fellow. As for Arshak Sadoyan, it is his business, he has formed the bloc. I don’t know whether I’ll sustain till the presidential elections. But if it is continued in this way, it will be the last start for our people».
