ARMENIAN ELECTION PREVIEW.

(To be continued in Monday’s issue). Among the eleven candidates challenging Acting President Robert Kocharian, three are capable to directly and substantially influence the election’s final outcome. Karen Demirchian, 66, is a no-party candidate who runs with the support of a small Socialist party. Vazgen Manukian, 52, is the candidate of his National-Democratic Union. Parvir Hayrikian, 49, is the candidate of the Self-Determination Union, of which he is the leader. An in-depth treatment of these candidates will appear in Monday’s Monitor. Late-breaking news in the Baltic region prevents publication today.
