The regime set a goal of reproduction, and the opposition must prevent
this, stated the chair of the administration of the All-Armenian
Movement Ararat Zurabyan October 20 at the Pastark Club.
"I think this is possible. I think there were such possibilities in
2003. The opposition should have been more determined, and everything
would end quite normally," says Ararat Zurabyan answering the question
on the mechanisms of preventing reproduction.
Ararat Zurabyan thinks that the government hardly gets 15 percent
in elections, and it is necessary not to allow the government to get
more votes. Naturally the news reporters asked the advocate of fair
elections if electoral fraud was not established in the period when
his political party was government. It became clear that electoral
fraud had been established earlier, "In the early 20th century,"
says Ararat Zurabyan, adding that it would be very difficult for
their government to battle this traditions, when the public was used
to unfair elections.
Besides, Ararat Zurabyan says in the years when they were government,
Andranik Margaryan, Serge Sargsyan were also in the government
and they falsified the results of the election to the degree that
their power enabled. "At that time they had 10 percent of power,
and their fraud was 10 percent, now they have 100 percent of power
100 percent of fraud," says Ararat Zurabyan. In that case, it would
be interesting to know why the All-Armenian Movement government did
not punish Andranik Manukyan and Serge Sargsyan for electoral fraud.
Ararat Zurabyan does not know the answer to this question, because
first he pretended having perceived the question differently, saying
that in the years of government of the All-Armenian Movement he was
the head of Armenian Press, whereas Serge Sargsyan was the minister
of National Security, and naturally he could not punish him. But we
certainly gave Ararat Zurabyan additional explanation that not he
was supposed to punish and did not punish but the political force he
represented, which was supposed to punish but failed to punish.
"The force I represent is people, and perhaps people got the
punishment," says the present chair of the administration of the
All-Armenian Movement, the former head of the Center community and the
former director of Armenian Press. If there is someone who understood
from his words why the All-Armenian Movement did not punish Serge
Sargsyan and Andranik Margaryan who had falsified the election for its
favor, we have probably reached our goal, but if nobody understood,
it means it remains unclear why the All-Armenian Movement did not
punish electoral fraud, but handed power to these people and quitted,
enabling them to expand electoral fraud.
