COMPOSER, MP, ETHNOGRAPHER SPEAK OF ARMENIA'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
TERT.AM
19:56 ~U 12.02.13
The singer and composer Ruben Hakhverdyan describes the presidential
candidates' behavior and statements as "political exhibitionism
and clownery."
"That's all," Mr Hakhverdyan told Tert.am.
Talking to Tert.am, Vahan Hovannisian, a member of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) parliamentary group,
said that the ARF-D did not join the presidential election campaign
because of the "ludicrous statements and situations."
"They [the presidential candidates] must be failing to find another
way of attracting public attention," Mr Hovannisian said.
The first 23 days of the presidential election campaign in Armenia
have shown ethnographer Hranush Kharatyan that each next day is going
to be "more eventful."
"The concept of 'president' is so devalued now that it is taken with
fun rather than seriously now. I think this concept has lost its
value along with general loss of values. Whoever wants can run for
the presidency," Ms Kharatyan said.
