Coordinator of ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s election campaign Aghvan Vardanyan called on all key actors of the election race to adhere to civilized competition rules.

“This is not our final clash; we all are citizens of our country, and we have to follow the rules of a civilized competition. The elections will be over, and we'll further live side by side,” he told a press conference in Yerevan.

According to Vardanyan, events of 2008 must never occur again; domestic upheavals and huge external pressure on Armenia must be prevented. Dashnaktsutyun will do its best to prevent this from happening again, he emphasized.
