    AND THERE ARE NOT SO MANY BULLETS...

    This electoral process obviously lacked emotional coloring, and
    everyone noted this as a positive factor because there has never been
    competitive emotion in Armenia since competition swiftly disappeared
    from the electoral field of Armenia.

    As a result of lack of competition in such a diverse electoral palette
    a case as serious as an attempt on one's life is interpreted either
    as conspiracy or as part of campaign. These two adversary views share
    one thing - the RA electoral field rules out any form of competitive
    election, including the extreme one.

    Hairikyan is highly symbolic because he is the person who provided a
    competitive alternative opposing the program of independent idea to
    the USSR program. This is the only articulate alternative put forth
    in the political field of Armenia which has so far been completed
    with only the impossibility of membership to the Customs Union or the
    absurd of complementarism of the Eurasian Union and the European Union.

    Nevertheless, both programs are incomplete. The collapse of the
    USSR is protracted as long as the attempts or wishes to restore
    it are alive. Independence is something vague for a country which
    does not have its own economy and even security (evidence to this is
    lustration). In other words, the choice remains valid. Hairikyan may
    not be the strongest factor of that choice but he remains the symbol
    of that choice - the sole choice of Armenia between independence
    and subjection.

    This election cannot be a demonstration election because it is
    impossible to discuss differences between CSTO and NATO during
    rallies. It is not the appropriate format. Anti-trust issues cannot
    be resolved while cutting a lamb. Meanwhile, such a popular intrigue
    policy becomes meaningless because people can be bought and sold
    (unfortunately) while programs cannot.

    One can participate or not participate in the election, like or
    dislike a candidate. It is the right of every citizen of Armenia. We
    have always been free to do what we want, shout loud what we want,
    emigrate where we want. The only restriction is on understanding. It
    is the only danger which they try to prevent because a person who
    understands automatically becomes an independent citizen of independent
    Armenia and there are not so many bullets...
