YEREVAN. - Armenia's last to presidents - namely, second President
Robert Kocharyan and incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan - simply debased
the whole value of the institution of the president. `People's Power'
social and political initiative founding member and opposition bloc
Armenian National Congress (ANC) member Zoya Tadevosyan stated this
during a press conference on Wednesday.
In her words, a president should be intelligent, literate, hardened by
some political processes, a prestige-possessing person whose word must
be unequivocal. `Very often the person of the president becomes an
example for the youth, the young generation. I don't have that example
from the example of the last two presidents,' Tadevosyan noted.
Speaking of the current candidates for next February's presidential
elections, the ANC member said some of them have entered into a
political game, whereas others are attempting to establish themselves.
`The value of a president has fallen so much that any one can see
himself as a president,' Zoya Tadevosyan added.
Reflecting on the ruling Republican Party's (RPA) assessment that
President - and RPA leader - Serzh Sargsyan is the favorite in the
forthcoming elections, the opposition figure said: `If he is the
favorite, take him to your home! He is the favorite for you, not for
the society.'
