The leader of the National Self-Determination Union Paruir Hairikyan
stated that he will not take part in the parliamentary election
because he has studied public opinion and noted that the NSDU does not
have sufficient support.
The leader of the NSDU displayed exemplary political realism. No doubt
the scope of forces which do not have enough public support is quite
large but the realism of their leadership is not adequate.
These forces are pushed into the lists of more influential political
units and arrange their parliamentary seats. At best, they present
their own lists.
Hairikyan's example will be singular, and many people will even say
that he did not find a place in the political list, so he said he will
not run in the elections.
It is possible. But the fact is that the NSDU has made a decision, and
Hairikyan justified and explained this decision thoroughly - there is
no public support.
On the other hand, Hairikyan's step is a confession that there is no
political competition in Armenia because if there were competition,
the party would not waive the political struggle and will try to boost
the insufficient number of its supporters during the election
campaign.
However, it is something useless in Armenia because the effectiveness
of the election campaign is measured by subjective circumstances
rather than objective factors.
Otherwise, the Republican Party, the Prosperous Armenia, the Country
of Law and marginal parties settled somewhere between the ruling
parties and their leaders would announce not to run in the election
and feel ashamed of announcing about it.
