The political field of Armenia experiences a calm before the storm,
Lyudmila Sargsyan, MP from the Armenian National Congress, Leader of
Hnchakyan Party, said at a press conference in Yerevan.
"As compared with the previous elections, the current situation in
the political field of Armenia is exclusive, which is explained by the
public's disappointment with the previous parliamentary elections and
the lack of search for an alternative candidate for the forthcoming
presidential elections", she said. The MP thinks that the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia is too confident to consider that the
country has no alternative to the incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan.
She said that the forthcoming nomination will show that Sargsyan
himself will be an alternative to the opposition candidate and will
contend for the second position. "The current power is weak and
cannot solve the problems of the society, and this makes that power
more vulnerable", she said.
To recall, earlier the RPA Spokesperson Edward Sharmazanov said that
the incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan has no competitors, and the
fight during the presidential elections will be only for the second
position. This statement caused the furious reaction of the opposition
parties. In particular, Leader of the Marxist Party of Armenia David
Hakobyan called Sharmazanov a court parrot and advised him to abstain
from such statements.
