    ELECTORAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED IN ARMENIA, STEPAN SAFARIAN SAYS

    Noyan Tapan
    Feb 22 2007

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. 500 thousand people are to stay in
    the square for two weeks for Levon Ter-Petrosian's victory. Alexander
    Iskandarian, the Director of the Caucasian Media Institute, expressed
    such an opinion during the February 22 dispute. According to him,
    much will also depend on the authorities' actions and their mistakes.

    His opponent Stepan Safarian, a member of the RA National Assembly
    Zharangutiun/ Heritage faction, said that a "striking power" has
    gathered in Liberty Square and the result depends on only use of
    efficient technologies.

    He emphasized that no accidental people, but the most active and
    ideologically committed part of society has gathered in the square.

    According to A. Iskandarian, returning to politics after 10 years'
    silence Levon Ter-Petrosian received the vote of every 5th voter. In
    his words, this phenomenon is explained by the circumstance that the
    Armenian public is "pregnant with opposition" and is in no way able to
    "bear." Existence of a real ruling party is needed for forming a real
    opposition. "The problem is not that there are many parties in Armenia,
    the problem is that there is none," the political scientist stated.

    According to S. Safarian, the control of the process of elections by
    Zharangutiun showed that the electoral system is completely destroyed
    in the country: not an electoral process, but confrontation of two
    sides was taking place. In his words, what happened in Yerevan's
    Malatia-Sebastia, Erebuni communities or in Syunik can be hardly
    named election.
