Presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan will state about his decision
to postpone or not the coming presidential elections later today.
Before he announces his decision, other presidential candidate, epos
expert Vardan Sedrakyan considers that in the created situation
psychological insurmountable obstacles have been created for other
candidates, thus in case Hayrikyan decides not to postpone the
elections, he will apply to the Constitutional Court for doing it.
Otherwise, it happens that the process depends on Paruyr Hayrikyan's
moods, he said.
Speaking to Tert.am, the presidential candidate noted that the demand
of the law is clear - it says if there is such an impediment for a
candidate or not.
The presidential candidate said Paruyr Hayrikyan is "having an ugly
trade with the president." Sedrakyan said he came to such conclusion
after Paruyr Hayrikyan, speaking in TV program before the attack, said
that if insurmountable obstacles are created for the candidates the
election results will be considered invalid.
"Now he is calculating his rating, demonstrating it. 'If I see my
rating has risen after the incident I will not apply, if not I will'.
But what does the law say? It just says whether impediment has been
created or not," the epos expert said, adding that it does not fix
whether candidate's rating is growing or not.
Hayrikyan said that currently his team is conducting a survey to find
out whether the assassination attempt against him had an impact on the
processes or not and that his decision depends on the survey results.
Asked whether he excludes or not that the assassination attempt
against Hayrikyan was aimed at postponing elections and if so, his
decision to apply to the CC means he is playing into hands, Sedrakyan
got angry claiming that he does not care what the aim of the shooting
was. "In the same way I can be shot at tomorrow," he said angrily.
