ArmInfo. "The July 17 election of the board of the Armenian National
Movement's was a fraud. This is strange and regretful for a force
advocating liberal-democratic values and having struggled for over two
years already against the electoral fraud of 2008," Karapet Rubinyan,
one of the founders of the ANM, the former vice speaker of the Armenian
Parliament, says in his open letter.
ARMENIA Today quotes Rubinyan as saying that this fraud took
place owing to the tough control of the opposition leader Levon
Ter-Petrossyan.
"By deciding not to elect me into the board, Levon Ter-Petrossyan
is punishing me for my criticism of his policies or, to be more
precise, is trying to insure the ANM board against any dissidence,"
says Rubinyan.
"Why are we seeking power if we are doing nothing to inspire our
people with hope and self-confidence? What shall we do when in power?
There are lots of questions like this. But instead of answering them
they in the ANM are just applauding their leaders. I am not taking
part in this. Good luck!" Rubinyan says to his colleagues.
