The president of the Association of Political Scientists Hmayak
Hovhannisyan says the sad picture on the eve of the presidential
election will make a comedy out of the election.
Hmayak Hovhannisyan told Lragir.am that the second large parliamentary
group Prosperous Armenia, and Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the runner up
in the last presidential election, do not run for president, so the
political life becomes boring.
The real reason for Levon Ter-Petrosyan's refusal to run for president,
according to Hmayak Hovhannisyan, is not his age.
Hovhannisyan says it is surprising that a person like him speaks about
age trying to arouse a pity. He could have boycotted the elections,
bringing all the necessary reasons for that, says Hmayak Hovhannisyan.
According to him, Ter-Petrosyan chose the disgraceful option of
withdrawing from the presidential race.
He noted that Ter-Petrosyan did not utter a word about his special
responsibility to reveal the organizers of March 1 crimes because
the victims followed him. According to Hovhannisyan, Ter-Petrosyan
is personally responsible for this issue and he should have raised
this issue.
In this situation, Hmayak Hovhannisyan thinks the second main candidate
for president is the Heritage leader Raffi Hovannisian.
After the elections, Hovannisian will be the second political figure
in Armenia, and Gagik Tsarukyan will cede this post to him. "Now the
authorities need to think not about re-election but about counting
additional percentage to the opposition candidate who will be Raffi
Hovannisian," he said.
The political scientist predicts that the authorities will help Raffi
Hovannisian receive more votes in the parliamentary elections than
Levon Ter-Petrosyan received in 2008.
