Yesterday the leader of the NDU, presidential candidate Vazgen Manukyan made a statement, which specifically says, “I am grateful to my voters and supporters whose number is more than the official data. It is the unbiased, principled part of the society which shares our ideas and is the reliable cream which may underlie the future of our country. By voting for me you voted for real, fundamental changes. As to the election, the anti-democratic system which had been established in 1995 once again held the election with innumerable breaches which are already familiar to us (the volume and possibility of proving which we are studying). The creators of this vicious system have declared struggle against those who use that system, in which a number of honest people are involved, who sincerely believe that it is struggle for the future of the country. In reality, I think for the organizers it is struggle for coming to power on the surge of hatred. Neither our state nor our people will benefit from this struggle. I appeal to everyone who desires freedom and justice not to get disappointed with the outcome of the vote and election fraud. Our struggle is in future, and we are full of determination to redirect the consciousness of the society towards real national and universal values in which case it will be possible to build new Armenia based on democratic principles.”
