''WE ARE DEFEATED: WE ACCEPT THAT NOT WITH PLEASURE BUT CONSCIOUSLY''
- ''Naturally there will be a statement connected with the elections. Now we are summing up the opinions and analyses of separate units of our structure. One thing is clear that we are defeated. We do not accept that with pleasure but with consciously. Our political party is that party that is able to overcome and this will be a new start,'' Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau member Hrant Margaryan told reporters today at the cemetery to freedom fighters. Asked what Dashnaksutiun will do in case of de-stability in the country, Hrant Margaryan said: '' First, we would not like such thing to happen. Second, I believe that the authorities, law enforcement bodies are responsible but I really do not want such thing to happen.'' Margaryan mentioned that ''election bribe has been a widespread and natural happening and it seems everyone has put up with that and Dashnaksutiun believes that it is not only natural but illegal.'' Hrant Margaryan assured that organized election breaches took place and Dashnaksutiun is studying the information now and will come up with a statement soon.
