YEREVAN. - Business may be involved in the assassination attempt on
presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan, Russian political analyst
said during Yerevan-Moscow space bridge.
Alexander Skakov, political scientist at the Eastern Studies Institute
of the Russian Academy of Sciences, noted that the attack was not
beneficial to the authorities. However, lack of alternative in the
elections is the thing which makes the West worry.
"The attack was beneficial neither to the authorities, nor opponents
and political forces not participating in the election," he said,
not ruling out the possibility that business could stand behind
the incident.
Business structures betting on another candidate, Skakov noted, can
be both inside and outside Armenia. According to him, Sargsyan suits
everyone, but it does not mean that it will last forever.
Russian political analyst said that criticism from the West came before
the attack when it became clear that Sargsyan is an uncontested winner.
However, he emphasized, if there are no other problems during the
election campaign, the vote be recognized as legitimate.
