Levon Shirinian: ARFD's nationalist section will elect Raffi Hovannisian
Friday,
December 28
In all the elections held in recent years - be it a national election
or a local government election, Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) has
almost always been in second place by the number of votes received.
One of the most frequently asked questions in the political filed
recently is: Which force will receive BHK supporters' votes in the
upcoming presidential election? In the opinion of political scientist
Levon Shirinian, `the BHK electorate' oligarchic part which has always
favored the authorities', will vote for authorities, while the section
in favor of changes will elect Raffi Hovannisian.
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun, which has the staunchest electorate sometimes
called `the army', will not make any calls for voting for this or that
candidate, Shirinian said during a talk with the correspondent of
Aysor.am.
`I don't think they will make official calls. Nevertheless, in my
opinion, their army will divide into three parts. Those who have
interests will back the current authorities, the nationalist section
will vote for Raffi Hovannisian, while the party's intellectuals will
probably elect Arman Melikian. We should not forget that Melikian has
always taken a definite position on the Karabakh problem'.
The decisions that Armenian National Congress (HAK), BHK, and ARFD
have taken regarding the presidential election were `a retreat with a
song', Shirinian said.
