PanARMENIAN.Net - The presidential elections in Armenia will be composed of one round. As reported by "Arka" agency, acting Armenian president Robert Kocharian said yesterday. "It is rather realistic, but the electoral struggle remains such, and one should work to attain its results," - he said. Speaking of the organizations contributing to the president, R.Kocharian did not mark out anyone concretely. At the same time he emphasized the need for fertile cooperation with them. In particular the president noted that he had discussed his electoral campaign with some parties with whom he had cooperated before. R. Kocharian considered the accusations that the media had begun his electoral campaign long before the fixed date, i.e. January 21, as groundless. "A president's activity should be covered to some degree, and I do not consider it as a beginning of the electoral propaganda," - he said. Let us note that the presidential elections in Armenia will be held February 19, 2003. 11 presidential candidates participate in the elections.
