YEREVAN. - Neither the forces outside Armenia, nor presidential
hopefuls - non-party affiliate, epic poetry specialist - Vardan Sedrakyan
and - opposition Heritage Party Chairman, former FM - Raffi Hovannisian
are linked to the assassination attempt that was staged against fellow
candidate, opposition National Self-Determination Union Chairman
Paruyr Hayrikyan. Former contender, National Accord party Chairman
Aram Harutyunyan - who dropped out of the presidential race on February
8 - stated this during a press conference on Friday.
`Sedrakyan had no reason to plan an assassination attempt. If I knew
why he is running [for president], I would respond to this question,'
Harutyunyan noted, reflecting on Sedrakyan's declarations that he will
be arrested after the election on February 18.
`Had the authorities wished to cause harm, I was the most suitable
candidate because I was the one criticizing [them] most harshly;
something would have happened to me,' he noted.
Aram Harutyunyan also stressed that, `there are people in Armenia that
know who planned the assassination attempt,' but he added that he is
not one of them and he does not want to make assumptions.
