THOUSANDS FLOCK TO ONE ARMENIAN PRESIDENTIAL CHALLENGER'S CAMPAIGN RALLY
More than 10,000 people on 12 February attended a presidential campaign rally on behalf of National Unity Party Chairman Artashes Geghamian in Vanadzor, Armenia's third-largest city, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reported. It was the largest turnout to date in support of Geghamian, whom most opinion polls place third in the ratings after incumbent President Robert Kocharian and People's Party of Armenia Chairman Stepan Demirchian. Geghamian's candidacy is backed not only by the Communist Party of Armenia but also by Soviet-era dissident Paruyr Hairikian, who campaigned on Geghamian's behalf in the mountain district of Aragatsotn on 11 February.
